Several airlines—Iberia, Air Europa, and Plus Ultra—have suspended flights between Madrid and Caracas following powerful earthquakes in Venezuela. The earthquakes, registering magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, prompted the flight cancellations scheduled for Thursday. As of current reports, the earthquakes have resulted in at least 164 confirmed fatalities within Venezuela. The decision to halt air travel reflects concerns about infrastructure damage and safety conditions on the ground. Further assessments are underway to determine the extent of the damage and when flights might resume. The airlines have not yet announced when normal service will be restored.
