Got a ticket to Venezuela and not sure which airport you'll land at? Here's the info.

Planning a trip to Venezuela right now can raise many questions, especially after the disruption caused by recent earthquakes that affected the infrastructure of the Maiquetía International Airport (Caracas). If you already bought your ticket for July or are planning your vacation, don't worry: Venezuelan airspace remains active, but arrival points have temporarily changed.

Here is the definitive, clear, no-nonsense guide so you know exactly where your plane will land:

The new connection hub: Valencia (VLN)

Since Maiquetía is operating exclusively for cargo and humanitarian flights while its alternate runway is being prepared, the Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia has become the country's main international gateway.

If you're flying with any of these airlines, it's most likely your itinerary has been re-routed to Valencia:

• Copa Airlines & Avianca: They maintain smooth daily connections from Panama and Bogotá.

• European airlines (Air Europa, Iberia, Plus Ultra): They are operating their direct routes to Madrid and Tenerife, using Valencia as a contingency terminal.

• TAP Air Portugal: Confirmed the resumption of its flights to Valencia starting this lunes 13 de julio.

🌴 National and Tourist Destinations: 100% Active

If your final destination is Margarita (Porlamar), Los Roques, or the eastern part of the country, national airports (including Barcelona and Maracaibo) are operating normally. National airlines are coordinating connecting flights from Valencia and Barcelona to transport passengers to their final destinations within Venezuela.

💡 Travel Tip: Do not go to Maiquetía. Contact your airline or your Venezuela Voyages advisor immediately to verify your ticket update. Remember to arrive at Valencia Airport with 4 horas de anticipación, as passenger volume is higher than usual.
