加拿大航空停飞所有委内瑞拉航班
Air Canada has suspended flights to and from Venezuela, citing concerns over security.
因对安全问题的担忧,加拿大航空停飞了所有进出委内瑞拉的航班。
The airline said it would consider resuming operations once the situation in Venezuela had stabilised.
It operated three return flights between Toronto and Caracas per week.
Twenty-nine people - from both sides of the political divide - have been killed in six weeks of protests against high inflation, crime and the shortage of many staples in Venezuela.
"Due to ongoing civil unrest in Venezuela, Air Canada can no longer ensure the safety of its operation and has suspended flights to Caracas until further notice," says the Canadian airline in a statement.
It says customers who have not begun their travel "may obtain refunds". Others may be rebooked on other airlines.
Retaliation
Several international airlines have reduced operations in recent weeks in Venezuela, but their main grievance has been the government's tight currency controls.
International airlines say the government of Nicolas Maduro owes them more than $3bn.
Tough foreign currency controls make it difficult for foreign airlines to repatriate money obtained from ticket sales in Venezuela.
In January, Ecuadorean airline Tame suspended flights to Venezuela, demanding $43m - one third of the company's yearly revenue - in overdue payments for tickets.
