Conviasa is owned by the government, the other two are privat.
I flew with Aserca 2 or 3 years ago and it was good. The flight departed and arrived on time, the seats were made of leather, but we were given nothing to eat or drink.
Remember that in Venezuela everything can happen. On January I flew with LAN from EZE to CCS via LIM. I had no problems in any segment, but when leaving CCS the flight was cancelled and arrived to EZE with 33 hours of delay, and the airline gave us absolute nothing to spend the night, but when we had to saty one more night in LIM, we were sent to the Sheraton!!!
The tourism staff is very rude (of course not EVERYONE, but the vast majority), so don't think you'll get a very good service there.
