WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - American Airlines said Thursday it aims to resume U.S. flights to Venezuela as soon as April 30 after winning approval from the Transportation Department last month.

American Airlines said it plans to ⁠resume  services to Venezuela for the first time in more ​than six years, offering daily service between Miami and Caracas on Embraer 175 through Envoy, its wholly owned subsidiary.
