AA suspends ticket sales in Venezuela

http://www.curacaochronicle.com/avia...-in-venezuela/

CARACAS – The U.S. airline American Airlines, the largest international carrier operating to Venezuela, announced that they have stopped selling tickets from and to Venezuela in any currency.


More background here:

Tickets from American Airlines (AAL) Inc., Grupo Aeromexico SAB and Avianca Holdings SA (AVH) among others have become harder to buy in Venezuela since September, as tighter currency controls make it more difficult for companies to convert bolivars into dollars. The shortage of greenbacks to fund imports of goods and services led the bolivar to decline 73 percent this year in the black market.

So far it seems there is no impact on flights...
