Airlines have canceled flights to and from Venezuela's Maiquetia Simon Bolivar international airport amid warnings from the United States, which has deployed a mighty naval force off the Caribbean coast.

Carriers serving Caracas, including Iberia, TAP, Avianca, GOL, LATAM, Air Europa, Turkish and Plus Ultra have all suspended flights, while others avoid flying over Venezuelan airspace, which US President Donald Trump warned Saturday must be considered "closed."

Panama's Copa Airlines and low-cost subsidiary Wingo said Thursday they, too, had halted flights for two days after pilots reported interruptions in navigation signals near Venezuela.

Colombia's state-owned airline Satena on Thursday indefinitely suspended flights over "interferences...recorded in satellite navigation systems."
