Aserca Airlines (Caracas Simón Bolivar) retired its last remaining DC-9-30, YV1879 (msn 48139), from revenue service on July 28. The aircraft has since been ferried from Caracas Simón Bolivar to Santo Domingo Las Américas where it is currently awaiting deployment with new owner, PAWA Dominicana (Santo Domingo Las Américas).
Aserca continues to operate an extensive McDonnell Douglas (Long Beach) fleet with four MD-82s, eight MD-83s and two MD-87s still in service with the Venezuelan regional carrier.
Sister carrier PAWA Dominicana now hopes to relaunch operations towards the end of the third quarter.
