A commercial passenger plane from the US landed in Venezuela on Thursday for the first time in nearly seven years, as the countries continue to restore economic ties following the ouster of Venezuela’s strongman leader in January.

The inaugural American Airlines flight lasted just under three hours, departing from Miami at 10:26 a.m. ET before landing at Simon Bolivar International Airport near Caracas around 1:15 p.m. local time. It returned to Miami later in the day.

American Airlines said it is the first US carrier to relaunch a daily service to the South American country, using an Embraer 175 dual-class aircraft operated by Envoy, the airlines’ wholly owned subsidiary.
