Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia receives international flights
Due to the preventative closure of Simón Bolívar International Airport in La Guaira state, international flights are being directed to Arturo Michelena International Airport, which is serving as the country's air bridge
Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia, Carabobo state, has become Venezuela’s air bridge for international flights following the preventative closure of Simón Bolívar International Airport in La Guaira state.
As is known, the country’s main airport, in Maiquetía, suffered severe structural damage during the earthquakes of June 24, leading to the suspension of air operations. Priority has been given exclusively to receiving flights carrying humanitarian aid and the deployment of emergency logistics in the area.
“This strategic plan aims to redirect regular demand to alternative terminals in the interior of the country that are 100 % operational, as air connectivity has been emergencyly relocated to these alternative terminals.”
Given the current national emergency, the Venezuelan Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies (Avavit) published available flight routes and schedules on its social media channels, along with passenger assistance information.
Meanwhile, “airlines continue to adjust their schedules while technical evaluations and recovery work progress at Maiquetía Airport, whose reopening for regular commercial flights still depends on the safety conditions of the infrastructure.”
