All international long-haul flights have been suspended at least until May 06, including routes operated from Miami International Airport to Aruba, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Saint Maarten and Peru

Flights from US  to Europe were grounded also, with the exception of one flight daily from Miami and Dallas to London, UK, and 3 flights from Dallas to Tokyo Narita per week.

Flights to other Caribbean and Central American destinations are being handled on a nation-by-nation basis, as each has instituted different travel restrictions due to the virus.
