The capital city served by Simón Bolívar International Airport at Maiquetía is Caracas.
The airport is officially called Maiquetía “Simón Bolívar” International Airport and is located in Maiquetía, in Venezuela’s coastal state of La Guaira. It serves Caracas, whose urban center lies roughly 21 kilometers west across the Coastal Range. Its IATA airport code is CCS, reflecting its long-standing association with Caracas.
The airport is Venezuela’s principal international passenger gateway. Road links, especially the Caracas–La Guaira highway, connect it with the capital, while the mountains explain why Caracas itself does not sit directly beside the airport or the Caribbean shoreline. “Maiquetía” is therefore the physical location, while “Caracas” is the city served.
The airport opened in 1945 as Maiquetía International Airport. It was later named for Simón Bolívar, the Venezuelan independence leader. La Paz, Quito, and Bogotá are separate national capitals with their own airports, so they are not alternatives to the stored answer.
