Industry Leaders Warn of Infrastructure Ceiling Amid Rapid Expansion
Despite the challenges posed by temporary terminals, Venezuela’s airline industry is experiencing a boom, with 19 airlines operating through Maiquetía International Airport’s modular temporary terminals. The airport resumed limited commercial operations on September 1, nearly ten weeks after a devastating earthquake, and is currently handling roughly 25% of its original capacity. American Airlines, United Airlines, LATAM, and ITA Airways have all announced new or expanded routes, but industry leaders warn that the current infrastructure is not sufficient to support long-term growth.
