Maiquetía International Airport, also known as Simón Bolívar Airport, will resume its commercial operations on September 1. This decision comes after damage assessments were conducted following the earthquakes that struck the country on June 24.

Despite the resumption of flights, operations will take place from temporary terminals due to necessary repairs to the main building. Authorities have urged passengers to contact their respective airlines directly to verify scheduling and secure their itineraries.

The state of La Guaira, where the airport is located, was the most affected by the earthquakes, which have resulted in over 6,500 fatalities. The situation has led to prioritizing recovery efforts at the airport terminal.

Information regarding the resumption of operations has been confirmed by several media outlets, while authorities continue to work on the recovery of the airport and addressing the needs of travelers.
