French company Aéropostale, then under the leadership of its owner Marcel Bouilloux-Lafont, decides to venture into Venezuela in 1929. In light of these conditions, Aeropostale viewed Venezuela as the ideal bridge to link South America with the Caribbean islands of Guadalupe and Martinique. This idea actually materialized on July 3, 1929.

| Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Practical Information |
| › Check-In Information |
We recommend all our clients to arrive at the airport at least three hours before their flight departure, due to delays caused by the X-ray checks effected by the National Guard on all international flights.
In order to speed the passenger check-in at Maiquetía Airport we would appreciate your having the exact amounts handy for the departure taxes, consisting of 24.700 Bolívares for the domestic tax and 102.900 Bolívares for the international tax, this because of the difficulty for our airport agents in obtaining the necessary spare change, all which slows down the flight check-in; and to be able to provide you with a better service.

| Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela History |
Despite its new Venezuelan ownership, Aeropostal continued to be run by French personnel under the direction of Robert Guérin until January 1, 1935, when its name was changed to Línea Aeropostal Venezolana (LAV) and operations shifted to Venezuelan hands under the management of commander Francisco Leonardi. By 1994 commercial operations had been closed as part of a government effort to trim expenses. This resulted in the company being sold to the CORPORACION ALAS DE VENEZUELA in 1996, a fully private company that re-started operations on January 7, 1997.
Today, AEROPOSTAL ALAS DE VENEZUELA has become a model for commercial aviation in Venezuela. It has captured the lion?s share of the flying public through on-time performance, security and service. Nothing short of this would have done justice to the tradition of excellence in service transmitted to us through generations.
