Venezuela has delayed planned restrictions on US civilian and cargo flights until March 31 while it seeks to settle a dispute with the US over access for Venezuelan carriers, the Financial Times reported.
In its online edition, the newspaper said the government was planning to ban Continental Airlines and Delta Air Lines Inc from flying to the country, and severely restrict services by American Airlines, from March 1 because of a long-running US limitation on Venezuelan airlines.
The National Aviation Institute said it will start talks with the three US carriers, as well as Fedex to find a solution.
Venezuela wants the US to give its airlines the same access in terms of frequency enjoyed by US carriers flying to Venezuela.
A US restriction, set back in 1994, bars Venezuelan airlines from adding new capacity or aircraft.
