Venezuela fears it's being cut off as more flights are cancelled to and from the country.
We lost 50% of our weekly flight.
The airport here is very empty right now.
That's World Business Report on the BBC World Service.
I'm Will Bayne and in just a moment we'll hear from Venezuela's airline association on what impact those cancellations are already having.
And also today,
how a lost pasquie caused red faces for one of the world's leading internet security organisations.
The airline association of Venezuela has told World Business Report that around 50% of all the flights in and out the country have been lost already,
with more international airlines cancelling flights for the coming days.
You won't remember that all of this started on Friday when the United States Aviation Regulator warned of heightened military activity in the area amid a build-up of American forces in the region.
Many airlines from Europe,
North America and the rest of South America promptly cancelled flights to and from Caracas.
which led on Tuesday to Venezuela's National Civil Aviation Institute,
apparently threatening to pull air traffic rights from several Spanish airlines
if they did not resume operations in the next two days.
Maricela Luisa is the president of both Venezuela's Tourism Council and the Airline Association of Venezuela,
the body that represents commercial airlines.
