Maiquetía Airport will restart its cargo operations.

Venezuela's Simón Bolívar International Airport will resume air cargo operations on August 5, 2026, following a 42-day closure due to two significant earthquakes. The airport, located near Caracas, is evolving from this disruption with a phased reopening, starting with cargo services using an alternate runway that has been certified for safety. While commercial flights are set to resume later in August, the airport aims to restore its aviation services, previously gaining traction with international airline returns and supportive regulations before the earthquakes.
