Simón Bolívar International Airport or Maiquetía "Simón Bolívar" International Airport (, )〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Aeropuerto Internacional de Maiquetía "Simón Bolívar"'' (official website) )〕 is an international airport located in Maiquetía, about from downtown Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. Simply called ''Maiquetía'' by the local population, it is the main international air passenger gateway to Venezuela among the twelve international airports in the country. It handles flights to many important destinations in the Americas, the Caribbean and some in Europe. ==History== The airport opened in 1945 as the Aeropuerto Internacional de Maiquetía.〔(Vías hacia la modernización 1935/1958 ). Historia de Venezuela en Imágenes. 1999〕 It was regularly visited by the Anglo-French supersonic airliner Concorde until the 1980s. In the 1970s an international terminal was constructed to offer increased capacity with a domestic terminal opening in the 1980s. Since 2000, the airport has been undergoing major changes in order to meet international standards and to improve passenger traffic, security, immigration areas, and customs areas. Security measures have become top priority since the September 11 attacks, and now departure areas and arrival areas are completely split into the lower and upper levels of the airport. As part of an expansion plan, new international gates are currently in construction, and a section of the parking area has been cleared to build an airport hotel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simón Bolívar International Airport (Venezuela)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
