Plaskett (D-USVI) released the following statement today regarding military action in Venezuela and the closure of airspace covering Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): "I was informed that the FAA issued a security order closing airspace at all altitudes in the flight region of military action in Venezuela. I urge all Virgin Islanders and travelers to contact their airlines directly for updates on flight schedules and travel arrangements. "The safety and security of Virgin Islanders and all Americans remains my top priority. Given the U.S. Virgin Islands' proximity to Venezuela and our position in the Caribbean, I will make sure to keep Virgin Islanders informed. As a member of the Intelligence Committee, I will await any briefing to Committee members from the administration and share what information I am able to give to the public. “Additionally, my office has spoken with a regional representative from the U.S. Postal Service who has informed us that all Priority and Priority Express packages inbound and outbound will not arrive or be delivered today due to the airspace restriction. The U.S. Postal service assured my office that they will work diligently to rectify the interruption once the airspace reopens. "My office will continue to monitor this developing situation closely and provide updates to constituents as more information becomes available." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:01:44Z |
