Airlines Mobilize Aid for Earthquake Victims in Venezuela

Airlines are actively participating in Venezuela's humanitarian response to devastating earthquakes, creating vital air bridges and logistical support for affected communities.

State carrier Conviasa has opened round-the-clock collection points for donations at its Maiquetía and La Carlota bases. The airline is accepting essential items such as drinking water, non-perishable food, medicine, clothing, and hygiene products, which will be channeled to the disaster zones.

Other collection centers have been established by authorities, including Ipostel's main office in Caracas, which serves as the primary logistics hub. The port of La Guaira is functioning as an operational center, and El Libertador Air Base in Aragua is coordinating international rescuers and heavy cargo. Collection points are also active across multiple states.

American Airlines has launched initiatives to aid the relief efforts, promoting donations to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and UNICEF's Change for Good program. Additionally, AAdvantage members can donate miles through the Miles for Social Good program to support humanitarian organizations. The airline plans to resume flights to Caracas on July 3, contingent on the reopening of the Simón Bolívar International Airport.
