History

The airline was established in 1982 and started operations on June 30 of the year. It was part of a full service safari company with its own lodges, camps, guides, aircraft and sailing vessels and operated services to remote destinations in Venezuela, including tourist attractions. It had 300 employees by March 2010.[2]

In October 2014, the airline was forced to suspend its flights to Aruba, affecting more than 7,000 customers. The airline's suspension was due to a failure in an aircraft that covered the route, however the National Institute of Civil Aviation indicated that the suspension was due to the over-sale of tickets for said route, as well as the creation of new unauthorized flights to cover the over-sale. This suspension was maintained until February 28, 2015.[3]

In February 2016, it was announced that LTA was bought by Grupo Cóndor C.A. for which it joined the alliance.

On July 30, 2018, the airline had ceased all services.[4]
