Aserca's operations were centred around Valencia, but it managed to develop Caracas as a hub after 1994 which made it experience a significant growth in its market share, expanding its network to Bogotá, Lima and Miami no longer in service via Aruba. Between 1998 and 2000 Aserca had a controlling interest in Air Aruba. The airline is owned by Migdalia García (95%) and Simeón García (5%).
