Laser Airlines (IATA: QL, ICAO: LER) is Venezuela's regional full-service airline, established in September 1993 and commencing operations in March 1994. Based in Caracas, the carrier operates from three key locations: Simón Bolívar International Airport as its primary hub, La Romana International Airport as a secondary hub, and Santiago Mariño Caribbean International Airport as a focus city.
The airline's network spans domestic routes within Venezuela alongside international services to Caribbean and South American destinations. This regional focus positions Laser Airlines as a connector for travellers within the northern South American region, serving both leisure and business passengers on medium-range routes.
Laser Airlines operates a mixed fleet comprising Airbus A330 widebody aircraft for longer international routes and McDonnell Douglas MD-81, MD-82, and MD-83 narrowbody jets for regional services. The carrier also maintains a frequent-flyer loyalty program called LASER Club and operates a subsidiary airline, RED Air, expanding its service reach across the region.
