Brief
Caracas’s international airport has resumed operations after a two-month shutdown following the earthquake. Passengers will be processed in four climate-controlled hangars while reconstruction of the terminal continues. The airport is therefore operating through temporary facilities rather than a completed terminal, restoring activity while repairs remain underway. The information provided does not specify when the permanent terminal is expected to reopen.
Restoring airport operations removes an immediate constraint on passenger movement and international access to Caracas. However, reliance on temporary hangars shows that earthquake damage remains unresolved, leaving service quality and capacity dependent on the pace and execution of terminal reconstruction.

Watch for a formal reconstruction timetable and confirmation that the permanent terminal has reopened, along with any indication that normal passenger-processing capacity has been restored beyond the four temporary hangars.
