March 15 (UPI) -- American Airlines slashed the few remaining flights between Venezuela and the United States on Friday, a day after U.S. diplomats left the nation reeling from a week-long blackout and water shortages.
According to a Friday report on CNBC, American Airlines suspended all flights to Venezuela after its pilot union raised concerns about flying there, citing unrest and health risks. The Miami Herald also confirmed the flight suspension, which it said was temporary.
