A number of international airlines, including Spain's Iberia and Portugal's TAP, have suspended flights to Venezuela after the U.S. warned major carriers about a "potentially hazardous situation" due to "heightened military activity" around the South American country.
TAP said its decision was linked to the U.S. notice, which it said "indicates that safety conditions in Venezuelan airspace are not guaranteed.
The suspensions come as tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela soar, with Washington deploying troops as well as the world's largest aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, as what it claims an anti-narcotics operation.
Caracas, however, describes the operation as a bid to force Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro out of power.
The U.S. military has also carried out at least 21 attacks on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific, killing at least 83 people.
