Airlines cancel slew of Caribbean flights, are 'closely monitoring' situation amid Venezuela strikes

U.S. airlines began canceling Caribbean flights early Saturday morning after the "large-scale attack" on Venezuela.

President Donald Trump announced that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country - and will stand trial for criminal charges in New York.

Following the successful mission, the FAA issued a slew of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS) over Venezuela as well as the Caribbean airspace, barring any flights without FAA approval.
