Earlier today, Lufthansa announced that it is suspending flights between Frankfurt and Caracas effective June 18. They cited ‘deteriorating economic conditions’ and ‘currency conversion issues’ for the cancellation. LH also suggested that they have not ruled out re-opening the route once conditions become conducive.
If you are affected by this announcement, please contact your travel agent or call Lufthansa directly for rebooking options or a refund.

Not sure exactly what you mean by unexpected. It’s definitely not surprising – other airlines have also cut back service to Venezuela, given currency conversion issues and the economic collapse there.
Unexpected in the sense that it was not part of their normal timetable adjustments and for the announcement to come on a saturday. I’m not surprised in the least for the same reasons you’ve given.
