[1]VECA Airlines (Vuelos Economicos de Centro America) was a Salvadoran airline owned by Sociedad Hasgar S.A. de C.V. and is El Salvador's flag carrier established in early 2014 in San Salvador. The main airline hub is located in San Salvador at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport.By the end of 2014, Alba Petroleos de El Salvador bought all outstanding shares of Sociedad Hasgar S.A. de C.V.. As of January 18, 2017 VECA airlines suspended operations for a period of three months for restructuring the airline due to financial problems.
The airline started operations on 28 November 2014 with regional services to major cities in Central America (San José, Managua and Guatemala City). VECA started its services with two Airbus A319s.
