Venezuela's Simón Bolívar Airport resumes flights at reduced capacity after quakes

Air Europa will resume direct Madrid-Caracas flights with five weekly frequencies starting September 1, ending the temporary diversion to Valencia after earthquake damage. Iberia will return to Caracas on September 3 with three weekly flights, while Plus Ultra continues via Valencia until September 27 and will operate to Caracas only on Tuesdays from September 8. Avianca has resumed daily Bogotá-Caracas service and launched a new daily Bogotá-Maracaibo route, expanding its Venezuela network to over 7,500 weekly seats. The Simón Bolívar International Airport is operating in a limited capacity with a temporary terminal to support 25% to 60% of prior operations as repairs continue, with international inspections confirming the restart. American Airlines plans to restart daily Miami-Caracas service on September 3, reestablishing a key U.S.–Venezuela link as airport conditions permit.
