The airline was established and started operations on September 12, 1980 as an air taxi.

On April 8, 2008, it began regular operations between Caracas and Maracaibo to alleviate the deficit on this route, the one with the highest demand in Venezuela after Porlamar. Its intention was to expand in Latin America and in 2011, be the largest airline in Venezuela.

In July 2008, it passed into the hands of a new administration with a view to converting Sol America into an airline with scheduled and non-scheduled flights for passengers and national and international cargo, as well as offering charter operations, all this with the incorporation of Boeing 737-200 aircraft. In order to offer a better product and operate medium-range routes such as Cancun, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, among others. At the beginning of 2010, the airline ceased its commercial operations for unknown reasons and retired its fleet.
