Dominican Republic, Panama & Peru: The Impact Of Venezuela’s Airspace Closures

On 28 July, Venezuela held its elections to choose the next president. The election results are widely considered to be rigged, with countries across Latin America, including Peru, Dominican Republic, and Panama, stating they would not recognize the outcome. Venezuela retaliated by barring flights from those countries, deepening the isolation of Venezuela. Other countries like Argentina and the US are already banned from Venezuelan air space.
