Aeropostal (Venezuela) ceased operations following withdrawal of aircraft insurance on it's last operational MD-80 (YV2957 MSN 53233), and lack of overall financial resources. The current fleet is comprised of six MD-80s. State owned Aeropostal has a rich history dating back to 1929, it's demise (if permanent) symbolizes the political and financial state of affairs in Venezuela, negatively impacting the aviation industry. The crisis extends beyond domestic airlines, with many foreign airlines having recently suspended operations into the country.
Postscript: the airline has been reported (as of 9/6/17) to have secured funding necessary to re-start operations 'in September'.
