Normalization test

This route is not just about tourism or family visits.

It signals that post-Maduro Venezuela is entering a new phase of economic and diplomatic normalization.

That does not mean Venezuela is suddenly fixed.

It means one of the clearest symbols of reopening is now visible in the sky.
