Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía is undergoing several infrastructure and operational adjustments. To manage increasing passenger volumes and separate domestic flows from international ones, a new temporary national arrival terminal was inaugurated. This modular structure, covering over 1,200 square meters, is designed to process more than 1,600 passengers daily and includes air conditioning and baggage claim belts.

Simultaneously, structural rehabilitation works are progressing on the main runway (10L-28R) as part of the ‘Plan Venezuela Renace’ program. These repairs aim to address structural damage caused by an earthquake on June 24. The project involves removing compromised asphalt and applying high-resistance resurfacing to ensure the runway can support large aircraft and meet international safety standards.
