Aserca Airlines is a Venezuelan carrier that operated domestic routes across Venezuela as well as select international destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America. Founded in the early 1990s, the airline grew to become one of the more prominent private airlines operating within Venezuela during a period of liberalization in the country's aviation sector. The airline faced significant operational challenges in the 2010s amid Venezuela's broader economic crisis, which severely impacted fuel availability, spare parts procurement, and overall operational capacity. These difficulties led to the suspension of many routes and a dramatic reduction in the airline's activity. Aserca Airlines held IATA code R7 and ICAO code OCA, operating under the callsign AROSCA. The carrier was headquartered in Caracas and primarily served airports including Simón Bolívar International Airport as its main hub.
