Venezuela says Caracas airport to reopen to commercial flights 'soon as possible'

Venezuela's Simon Bolivar International Airport, located in La Guaira, was damaged during a series of powerful earthquakes on June 24, 2026, which resulted in over 3,500 deaths. The airport had been partially operational for humanitarian flights since the disaster. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez announced plans to reopen commercial flights using an alternate runway as soon as possible. U.S. military personnel and experts have been assisting with airport repairs and logistics, including coordinating with commercial airlines to resume operations. Despite ongoing efforts, thousands remain homeless, and rescue operations are nearing completion as families continue searching for missing relatives.

'Pokemon airport' opens to help Japanese quake-hit region

A remote Japanese airport on the Noto Peninsula, which was severely impacted by a 7.5-magnitude earthquake in early 2024 that killed over 700 people, was temporarily renamed 'Noto Satoyama Pokemon With You Airport' on July 7. The renaming, organized by the Pokemon With You Foundation, includes a life-sized Pikachu mascot dressed as a pilot and over 100 Pokemon-themed displays throughout the facility. The change aims to boost tourism in the area, which has seen a significant drop in overnight visitors—remaining at just over 30% of pre-earthquake levels. Public broadcaster NHK noted the ongoing challenges in recovery.
