VECA intends to bring competition into the Central American market following the recent merger of Avianca and TACA. Several former TACA Airlines employees now work at VECA Airlines, after the absorption of TACA by the Colombian flag carrier.

Among the low-cost airline plans, it is intended to offer flights to North America and South America on short notice.
