Simon Bolivar International Airport CCSSVMI

Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS), commonly called Maiquetía, is Caracas’ main airport and Venezuela’s primary international air gateway. It is not a global alliance hub; its hub role is mainly for Venezuelan carriers such as Conviasa, LASER, Avior, Estelar and Rutaca, with a mix of domestic routes, Caribbean/Latin American services and selected long-haul links that vary by season and politics. The airport is close enough to Caracas for a city transfer, but frequent flyers should build in slack for immigration, security, bag reclaim and road traffic, especially on self-connects.
