Commercial Flights Return Today To Venezuela's Main Airport 10 Weeks After Deadly Earthquakes

Caracas’s José Félix Ponce de León International Airport reopened today after ten weeks following the devastating earthquakes that struck the country. Commercial flights are resuming operations at the primary Venezuelan airport; however, significant recovery efforts remain underway. The airport is still substantially impacted by the seismic events and associated damage. Authorities report that while flight services are now operational, the facility has not yet achieved full functionality. Ongoing assessments continue to determine the precise timeline for complete restoration of the airport’s capabilities.
