History
The airline was established in 1933 as Linea Aerea Venezolana (LAV), when the Venezuelan government took over the routes and equipment of French company Cie Generale Aeropostale, which had begun operating in Venezuela in 1930. Operations ceased in August 1994, but the airline was reactivated in January 1997, following its sale by the government to private company Alas de Venezuela. Flights to the USA began in July 1998 and to Madrid in November 2001, although the latter have since ceased. The airline is wholly owned by Haydhelen Velasquez and Ramiz. It also has stakes in other airlines: AeroHonduras (45%) and AeroRepublica (33%).
