Venezuela delays Ban on Delta and Continental to End of March

Venezuela’s announcement at the end of last week that they were banning Delta and Continental Airlines from their country March 1st was unexpected for the airlines. Through negotiations Venezuela has decided to postpone the banning, but these airlines future is at risk.
Venezuela’s National Aviation Institute says the measure was pushed back for a month after the airlines protested the sudden announcement.
The ban announced last week would have barred flights starting March First by Houston-based Continental Airlines and Delta Air Lines, and restricted flights by Fort Worth, Texas-based American Airlines.via WKTN.
