History

The airline was founded in 2009. Its first flights were to Porlamar and within months it commenced a route to and from Maracaibo.[3] In December 2017, Estelar Latinoamerica announced its first intercontinental route from Caracas to Madrid, Spain. Therefore, it expanded its narrow-body fleet with an Airbus A340-300 on lease from Hi Fly Malta.[4]

Later, the airline leased an Airbus A380 from Hi Fly Malta because the A340 it was leasing needed repairs, making Estelar Latinoamerica the first Americas airline in history to operate that aircraft.[5]
