The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has issued a new flight advisory for Venezuelan airspace, citing a potentially hazardous situation and heightened military activity. With an American carrier group afloat off the Venezuelan coast and no clear resolution in sight, tensions between Washington and Caracas have reached a critical point.

An air traffic controller issued a sharp rebuke to a Spirit Airlines pilot who flew too close to Air Force One, telling him to “pay attention” and “get off the iPad.” The flight was carrying President Trump at the time, intensifying concern for the safety of all involved.
