The airline was established by the Cuban army and started operations in 1994. and is wholly owned by the Government of Cuba, run by Corporación de la Aviación Civil S.A of Cuba. [3]

Aerogaviota was forced to suspend operations in 2022 due to a lack of available aviation fuel but in late 2023 resumed a network of domestic destinations with future plans to resume international flights to Jamaica in support of the receding Cuban tourism. [1]
