CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The Ecuadorean airline Tame suspended on Thursday its once-daily flights to and from Venezuela until that country’s cash-strapped government pays it $43 million owed for ticket sales.
The carrier was the first to halt flights to Venezuela, whose socialist government owes carriers a total of $3.3 billion, according to Venezuela’s airlines association.
