The airline was founded on April 14, 1972 as AeroNorte Ltda. and commenced operations using the Curtiss C-46 Commando. In 1975, it started regional cargo service and bought 2 Douglas DC-4 and 2 Douglas DC-6A.

The company changed its name in 1986 to Líneas Aéreas Suramericanas when its operation's certificate is cancelled by Law 30. Operations started serving North America with a Canadair CL-44. In 1987 it started flying between Bogotá and Panamá,[2] when a Sud Aviation Caravelle joined the fleet.

In 1991, the first Boeing 727-100 was acquired. To complement the fleet, two McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15 freighters were added for greater national coverage.

By 2005 the company had built its own two hangars and purchased its fourth Boeing 727-200, and by the end of 2008 two more joined the fleet. Additionally, LAS Cargo constructed two big hangars at El Dorado International Airport. They include four aircraft parking positions, structural repairs, mods, engineering services, aircraft painting facilities.

The company became an International Air Transport Association member in 2013. The company updated its corporate image in 2014 including a new logo and a new livery design for its aircraft.
