On January 3, Conviasa Airlines issued a flight cancellation notice via its WeChat account: due to force majeure, flight V0771, which was scheduled to take off at 3 o'clock on January 5, 2026, has been cancelled. Obviously, this force majeure was due to the US launching a large-scale military operation against Venezuela in the early morning of the 3rd, raiding places such as the capital of the Commission, Caracas, and forcibly controlling President Maduro and his wife and taking the two to the US. At the time, the US also announced restrictions on Caribbean airspace. Many international airlines, including American Airlines, cancelled hundreds of flights, causing many travelers vacationing in the Caribbean to be stranded; while Venezuelan airline Conviasa's flight V0770 was en route from Venezuela to Guangzhou and landed safely on the morning of January 4. Some shipping industry sources also revealed that customers who originally wanted to export goods to Venezuela by sea are also beginning to request a suspension of shipments, while containers that have already left the port are requesting that they be changed to Panama to dock, or apply to be stranded at transit ports.
