PANAMA CITY: Two Panamanian airlines said Wednesday they would suspend flights to Venezuela for two days, joining several other carriers as the US cranks up military pressure on the country.
Copa Airlines and its low-cost subsidiary Wingo said they would halt flights to and from Caracas on Thursday and Friday after their pilots reported intermittent interruptions in navigation signals.
The suspension was a “precautionary decision”, the airlines said, pledging to provide more information within 24 hours.
