随着外交渠道重新开放、航空公司准备恢复与加拉加斯的航线，拉丁美洲航空公司对委内瑞拉表现出新的兴趣，但业内高管表示，受损的机场基础设施和过时的监管框架仍是更广泛复苏的主要障碍。
Latin American airlines are showing renewed interest in Venezuela as diplomatic channels reopen and carriers prepare to restore links to Caracas, though industry executives said damaged airport infrastructure and an outdated regulatory framework remain major obstacles to a broader recovery.
拉丁美洲和加勒比航空运输协会（ALTA）负责人彼得·塞尔达在周日的新闻发布会上表示，委内瑞拉因其地理位置而具有强劲的长期潜力，但当务之急是重建该国的航空平台——6月的致命地震损坏了该国位于加拉加斯郊外迈克蒂亚的主要国际门户。
By Kylie Madry Venezuela has strong long-term potential because of its location, but the immediate priority is rebuilding the country's aviation platform after the deadly June earthquakes damaged its main international gateway at Maiquetía, outside Caracas, Peter Cerda, head of the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA), said in a press conference on Sunday.
“我认为委内瑞拉拥有巨大潜力。从战略和地理上看，它处于完美的位置。这是一个拥有重大机遇的市场，”塞尔达说。塞尔达表示，ALTA一直与委内瑞拉当局保持持续对话，但紧急恢复工作优先于更广泛的政策讨论。智利拉塔姆航空公司（LTM.SN）表示，复航进程以及圣地亚哥与加拉加斯之间外交条件的改善令其感到鼓舞。
"I think Venezuela has significant potential. Strategically and geographically, it is in a perfect location. It is a market with major opportunities," Cerda said ALTA has been in constant dialogue with Venezuelan authorities, Cerda said, but emergency recovery efforts have taken precedence over broader policy discussions Chile's LATAM Airlines (LTM.SN) said it was encouraged by the reopening process and by improving diplomatic conditions between Santiago and Caracas LATAM Chief Executive Roberto Alvo stopped short of announcing additional routes, but said LATAM would assess future opportunities as conditions improve "LATAM's interest is to continue connecting South America with itself and with the world...
拉塔姆首席执行官罗伯托·阿尔沃没有宣布新增航线，但表示随着条件改善，拉塔姆将评估未来的机会。“拉塔姆的兴趣是继续连接南美洲内部以及南美洲与世界……当我们看到可以发展通往委内瑞拉的连通性时，我们将评估这些机会，”阿尔沃说。塞尔达表示，复航兴趣并不限于某一家航空公司或某一个市场，并补充说美国、欧洲和中东的航空公司也在重新关注委内瑞拉。
As we see that we can develop our connectivity to Venezuela, we will evaluate those opportunities," Alvo said Cerda said the reopening interest was not limited to one carrier or one market, adding that airlines in the US, Europe and the Middle East were also looking again at Venezuela
