AVENSA

Avensa (Aerovias Venezolanas Sociedad Anonima) is Venezuela's former national airline. Its fleet operated from hubs at Simon Bolivar International Airport in Caracas and Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia with aircraft such as the Douglas DC-9, DC-10, the Boeing 727, 737-200, 757, and the Airbus 300. Avensa operated a smaller low-fare carrier called SERVIVENSA, which operated mainly Boeing 727s between its smaller hub in Valencia torwards international destinations. The former fleet is now owned by Santa Barbara Airlines, which operates most of the same routes as well as some new ones.
