THE Ministry of Defence is advising the public that Trinidad and Tobago’s airspace remains open, even as commercial flights from the US were cancelled following a US military strike in Venezuela.
A release on January 3 said the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) instructed flights leaving the US that morning to return to the US.
A JetBlue flight bound for Trinidad received those instructions minutes after take-off from JFK International Airport.
