Venezuela’s Main Airport Partially Resumes Commercial Flights After Deadly Earthquakes
- On Tuesday, Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia, Venezuela, partially resumed commercial operations nearly 10 weeks after the June 24 earthquakes forced its closure.
- The June 24 earthquakes left more than 6,500 dead and caused severe damage to runways and control buildings, forcing international flights to divert to airports in Carabobo and Anzoategui.
- A temporary 10,000-square-meter structure in the parking lot handles 2,168 passengers daily, offering check-in counters and air-conditioned waiting areas with free Wi-Fi and bus transport to aircraft.
- Copa Airlines of Panama and Air Europa of Spain launched seven domestic and four international round-trip flights, with Spain's Iberia expected to join in the coming days.
- Transportation Minister Francisco Garc expects initial operations to recover 25% of pre-earthquake capacity, with targets reaching 40% in a few months and 60% by year-end or early next year.
