Delta Joins American in Cutting Flights to Venezuela

Delta Air Lines Inc. joined American Airlines in cutting the number of flights between the U.S. and Venezuela because of a dispute over cash trapped in the country.

Delta will go from once daily flights between Atlanta and Caracas to one weekly round trip starting Aug. 1, said Sarah Lora, a spokeswoman for the carrier. Atlanta-based Delta has provided uninterrupted service to Venezuela for 15 years, she said.
