Venezuela strikes ripple to St Maarten: SXM flights canceled, airlines issue travel waivers

SIMPSON BAY, Sint Maarten, January 3, 2026, 10:04 ET Flights to and from Sint Maarten’s Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) were disrupted on Saturday, with cancellations and delays rippling through key Caribbean routes after U.S. attacks on Venezuela.

Flights to Guyana disrupted after U.S. strikes Venezuela: Georgetown airport delays, KLM cancellations

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, January 3, 2026, 10:04 ET Flights at Guyana’s main international gateway in Georgetown were disrupted on Saturday, with cancellations and multi-hour delays showing up on airline and flight-tracking updates after U.S. strikes in neighboring Venezuela. The disruption matters now because Guyana sits on Venezuela’s eastern flank and has become a key entry point for business travel into the region, including for the country’s fast-growing oil sector. It also underscores how quickly a geopolitical shock can ripple into commercial aviation, as airlines and air traffic authorities issue safety alerts and reroute traffic when military activity escalates. Venezuela’s government said

AppLovin stock today: APP’s 8% drop extends a seven-day slide — what Wall Street watches next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:00 ET — Market closed AppLovin Corp shares fell 8.2% in Friday’s regular session, closing at $618.32 after touching $611.06 at the low, market data showed. The decline was the Nasdaq-listed company’s first move of 2026 after the New Year holiday and left the stock down about 16% from its Dec. 22 closing record. The drop matters because AppLovin entered the new year as one of the market’s biggest momentum names after a sharp 2025 run-up, leaving little margin for disappointment. Barron’s said the stock had risen 108% in 2025 and was the S&P 500’s

Netflix stock slides 3% into 2026 as Warner Bros deal and Jan. 20 earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:58 ET — Market closed Shares of Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) fell about 3% on Friday and ended at $90.99. The stock opened at $94.11, traded between $90.83 and $94.50, and saw roughly 41 million shares change hands. The decline keeps Netflix on the defensive heading into the first full week of 2026, as investors weigh deal risk against the company’s underlying streaming performance. That matters now because Netflix is due to update the market on revenue momentum, spending and cash generation in its next quarterly report, a potential reset point for the stock after a

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as Bitcoin steadies near $90,000 — here’s what investors are watching

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:04 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares rose 3.4% in the last U.S. session on Friday, closing at $157.16 after swinging between $149.75 and $160.79. Volume was about 19.9 million shares. StockAnalysis The move matters because Strategy trades as a high-volatility proxy for bitcoin — the stock often moves more than the cryptocurrency as traders price in the firm’s crypto-heavy balance sheet and financing model.

Market Index The move put the spotlight on loan growth at a smaller lender focused on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a part of the economy that can turn quickly when confidence shifts.

Curaçao Flights Cancelled and Delayed After U.S. Strikes Venezuela, Airlines Issue Alerts

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Jan 3, 2026, 09:59 ET KLM on Saturday canceled flights to Curaçao and several other Caribbean destinations after what it described as the closure of airspace around the island amid the fallout from U.S. strikes in Venezuela.

Caracas airport flight cancellations after U.S. strikes on Venezuela, airlines reassess routes

CARACAS, Jan 3, 2026, 10:00 ET Caribbean Airlines cancelled flights BW300 and BW301 between Caracas and Port of Spain on Saturday as airlines assessed operations into Venezuela after overnight U.S. strikes, according to FlightStats. President Donald Trump said U.S. forces had captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and flown him out of the country; Venezuela rejected what it called U.S. military aggression and declared a national emergency. Reuters The disruption matters because Venezuela has limited commercial air links, leaving passengers with few alternatives when a single route is pulled.

The disruption matters for Bonaire because the island relies on a limited set of nonstop services and tight weekend schedules. The territory lies between 35 and 80 kilometres from Venezuela’s coast, DutchNews.nl reported. Dutchnews KLM said airspace around Curaçao had been closed because of the situation in Venezuela, first delaying and then canceling flights scheduled on Saturday to the region, including KL765.

Puerto Rico Flight Cancellations Spike: San Juan Airport Suspends U.S. Airline Service After Venezuela Strikes

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, January 3, 2026, 10:05 ET San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport suspended most commercial flights operated by U.S. airlines on Saturday after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a temporary airspace restriction covering Puerto Rico following military activity in Venezuela, airport operator Aerostar said. The disruption hit the island at the start of the weekend travel period, forcing airlines and airports to rework schedules with little notice. It also raised concerns about knock-on effects for cargo and regional connections.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:00 ET — Market closed Intel Corp (INTC) shares closed up 6.7% at $39.38 on Friday, their latest move as U.S. markets sit closed for the weekend. The stock traded between $37.41 and $39.86 and logged about 95.4 million shares in volume. The jump matters because semiconductors have been doing much of the heavy lifting for U.S. equities, and Intel remains a widely traded proxy for sentiment toward the group.

Swiss Market Index missed Europe’s record rally — what Zurich traders watch next week

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:57 ET — Market closed Swiss stocks on the SIX Swiss Exchange head into next week’s reopening after a holiday pause left Zurich closed on Friday, even as European equities started 2026 at fresh highs.

Google stock (GOOG) starts 2026 higher — here’s what could move Alphabet next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:54 ET — Market closed Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG) closed up about 0.5% at $315.32 on Friday, the first session of 2026, giving the Google parent a market value of about $2.94 trillion. Alphabet’s Class A shares (GOOGL) gained about 0.7%. The muted move matters because the first full week of January brings a heavy U.S. calendar that can reset expectations for interest rates — a key driver for high-valuation technology stocks. Fed funds futures, interest-rate contracts that reflect traders’ expectations, suggest little chance of a cut at the Fed’s late-January meeting but

Maduro captured in U.S. strike; PDVSA oil facilities unscathed, sources say

CARACAS, January 3, 2026, 09:52 ET Venezuela’s state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) kept production and refining running on Saturday and saw no damage to its key facilities after a U.S. strike aimed at capturing President Nicolas Maduro, two people with knowledge of the operations said. Reuters The status of PDVSA’s infrastructure matters for oil markets because Venezuela is a member of OPEC, the oil-producing group, and its exports have already been squeezed by U.S. pressure.
