Originally founded in 1929 as Aerovias Guatemala, the airline was nationalised in 1945 and re-named Empresa Guatemalteca de Aviación S.A which was shortened to Aviateca. For a period of one year in 1974, the Central American company operated an F-28 provided on lease by the manufacturer. Aviateca remained in government ownership until 1989 when it joined the TACA-organised Airline Alliance of Central America and was privatized. It was fully integrated into TACA, which later merged with Avianca. In 2013 it was renamed Avianca Guatemala. Subsidiary Transportes Aéreos Inter (aka Inter) operated services with small aircraft from 1999 to 2006.
