Venezuela’s Airport Reopens Partially | Lubbock News

Venezuela’s Simon Bolivar International Airport is cautiously reopening after nearly ten weeks of devastation from powerful earthquakes, with a temporary hub now operating in the parking lot to handle up to 2,000 passengers daily. Buses shuttle travelers to planes as officials aim to restore 25% of pre-disaster operations, scaling up to 40% in months and 60% by year’s end. Approved by international inspectors, initial flights from Copa and Air Europa signal hope for La Guaira’s economy — a region hit hard by the quakes and reliant on the airport and port. Rebuilding efforts focus on restoring critical services like air travel, easing the strain of previous reroutes to distant airports.
