Airport contact
Regional Venezuelan gateway and Avior Airlines' main hub, also served by Conviasa, LASER Airlines, and Rutaca Airlines on domestic/Caribbean routes, with Copa Airlines resuming 3x-weekly Barcelona-Panama (Tocumen) service from 2 Jun 2026. Twin M7.2/M7.5 earthquakes struck Venezuela on 24 Jun 2026, severely damaging Caracas-Maiquetía (the country's main international gateway, with widespread structural collapse and thousands of casualties reported); however, independent reporting found that Venezuela's recovery plan centers on reopening Maiquetía itself via a parallel runway, and no source could be found corroborating the more specific claim that BLA was activated as a major international alternate handling daily LASER service to Miami, Madrid, and Santo Domingo plus expanded Avior/Copa/Latam routes — that claim is unverified and should be confirmed against a primary INAC/BAER or airline source before being published as fact. No official per-airport passenger totals are published by INAC/BAER; the pax figure above is a rough estimate, not an official statistic.
