History
Although initially established to provide service between Aruba and Venezuela and to be a link from Venezuela to neighboring islands of Bonaire and Curaçao, the airline didn't pursue its permission to start operations with its aircraft, which was only used by sister airline BonairExel and was later sent back to the Netherlands when the ExelAviation Group ceased its own operations. In 2016 the branding rights of the ExelAviation Group were acquired by the Founder & Ex CEO of Aruba Airlines Mr. Onno de Swart.
