Aserca Airlines is a Venezuelan regional carrier that operated domestic routes across Venezuela, serving major cities including Caracas, Maracaibo, Valencia, and Porlamar. Founded in the early 1990s, the airline grew to become one of Venezuela's prominent domestic operators during a period of liberalized aviation in the country. The airline faced significant operational challenges in the mid-2010s amid Venezuela's broader economic crisis, including fuel shortages, currency controls, and regulatory difficulties. These pressures severely curtailed its flight schedules and overall capacity. Aserca Airlines held IATA code R7 and ICAO code OCA, operating under the callsign AROSCA. Its operations have been largely suspended or severely reduced in recent years as Venezuela's aviation sector contracted dramatically due to the country's ongoing economic difficulties.
