CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP) — Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez said on Tuesday the international airport damaged in the twin earthquakes would reopen as soon as possible using an alternative runway.
Simon Boliver International Airport is in La Guaira, north of Caracas and was the epicentre of the June 24 twin earthquakes that toppled scores of residential buildings and killed more than 3,500 people.
The airport has been partially open to humanitarian flights.
