Delta is getting out of Venezuela

Delta is pulling out of Venezuela as the country sinks deeper into crisis.

The last Delta flight will leave Caracas on September 17. The airline drastically cut service to Venezuela three years ago because of a currency dispute with the government. It was down to a single weekly flight each way between Atlanta and Caracas.

Delta (DAL) is the latest airline to end or dramatically reduce service to Venezuela, where political, humanitarian and economic turmoil is getting worse.

Maybe the Chavista apologists can fly into Caracas on the wings of Pegasus?
