United Airlines will resume daily nonstop flights between Houston and Caracas on August 11, 2026. The service marks the carrier's return to Venezuela following a suspension in June 2017. United will operate the route using Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
The route reopens an economic gateway for business and family travel. The U.S. Transportation Secretary identified the flights as critical for transporting oil sector workers. This transport supports U.S. and Venezuelan cooperation on expanding oil production.
