Perla Airlines C.A. was a Venezuelan charter airline based in Porlamar that offered national and international routes from Margarita Island.

History

Perla Airlines was founded in November 25, 2006. Its operations began in late 2009, establishing its hub at Santiago Mariño Caribbean International Airport on the Margarita Island, from where it offered national and international flights.

In May 2018, the airline's Air Operator Certificate was returned to the National Institute of Civil Aviation (INAC), thus formalizing the closure of its doors in the context of the strong economic and political crisis to which the South American country was submerged.

Despite its definitive suspension being announced, in March 2018, the airline had its license temporarily revoked by the Venezuelan authorities for not being able to comply with its itinerary due to the financial conditions of the country, making it impossible to import parts for the maintenance of its fleet, aircraft lease payment among other factors. The airline closed its operations on June 13, 2018.
