Days after Venezuela issued an ultimatum to international airlines requiring them to resume service or lose the right to fly, the country has followed through with that threat. In a late-night social media post, the Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil Venezuela (INAC) confirmed that concessions had been revoked for six airlines: Iberia, TAP Portugal, avianca, LATAM Colombia, Turkish Airlines, and GOL Airlines. Local carrier Caribbean Airlines was not named on the list. The notice was published in the Official Gazette No. 43264 of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
