CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela said Monday it was willing to temporarily back off a March 30 ban on U.S. airlines as aviation officials discuss Caracas' demands that American authorities drop safety-based restrictions against its carriers.
A delegation from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration arrived Sunday in the hopes of reaching an agreement with Venezuelan officials to avert a potential airline crisis if Venezuela follows through on its threat to block most flights by U.S. carriers.
"Our government has shown and maintains its disposition to temporarily suspend the measure depending on the climate of the talks," said Infrastructure Minister Ramon Carrizalez.
