Avianca announced the resumption of daily direct flights between Caracas and Bogotá starting September 1, 2026, following an operational and safety evaluation. [^1]

LATAM Airlines announced an investment of more than $25 million to install multi-orbit satellite connectivity on over 60 new Airbus and Embraer aircraft. [^2]

The Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia will resume receiving national and international flights on Tuesday, September 1, after closing for nearly 70 days due to damage from the double earthquake on June 24. [^3]

Avianca launched a new daily route between Maracaibo and Bogotá on August 28, 2026, and maintains daily operations between Valencia and Bogotá. [^4]

Due to the lack of direct connection between temporary terminals and traditional jet bridges, passengers will be transported via buses exclusively assigned for transfers between terminals and aircraft. [^5]

The International Airport of Maiquetia Institute (IAIM) established a special protocol that modifies the usual passenger route while maintaining standard documentation, luggage, migration, and security procedures. [^6]

The reopening will be partial and will be conducted through temporary terminals installed in the parking area, which will handle simultaneous arrivals for over 1,200 travelers. [^7]
