On Tuesday, February 10, the Spanish airline Air Europa announced that it was beginning the “gradual reactivation of operations to and from Caracas (Venezuela).” The first flights will take place next week: on February 17, 20, and 22 (UX071 Madrid – Caracas and UX072 Caracas – Madrid).
These are not the only flights that have already been confirmed by this airline: there are already plans for the rest of February and until March 20. There will be flights on the following days:
- February: Air Europa will operate these flights on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays (February 17, 20, 22, 24, and 27).
- March: flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays (1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 20).
For flights from March 21, 2026, “we will report any news through our usual channels,” the company said. Flight status, on the other hand, can be checked at this link.
Plus Ultra and Iberia also resume flights to Caracas
In the case of Plus Ultra, the date for resuming service is set for March 3, 2026. Its website has a traveler information service which, at least at the time of writing, returns this message accompanied by a short form: “Due to the high volume of calls, we are unable to assist you at this time. We will call you back as soon as possible.”
Finally, in the case of Iberia, the return will take a little longer: it is scheduled for April 6, 2026.
The three Spanish airlines are resuming their activity on this route after suspending it due to the restrictions imposed on air connectivity last November. In response to the Spanish airlines’ decision to suspend their activity, the Venezuelan government then suspended the licenses of Air Europa, Plus Ultra, and Iberia to fly to Venezuela.
