Tame Airline of Ecuador, was founded in 1962.
The reason why this company was created is
linked to the need to join the Ecuadorian territory
and promote its commercial, social, tourist and
cultural development.
Its commercial growth was gradual and sustained.
It expanded its domestic routes and changed its
aircrafts to DC-3, DC-6, Electra, Avro, Boeing
727100, Boeing 727200, Airbus A320, and more
recently to Embraer 170 and 190, which currently
cover fourteen destinations within Ecuador and
one abroad.
Since 1993, in conformity with the border integration
agreement, TAME flights to Cali and Colombia oper-
ate three times per week.
Around 3,000 passengers travel daily on TAME’s
aircraft on its national and international routes. The
incorporation of modern planes with a higher capac-
ity has furthered TAME’s prestige in the commercial
aviation market.
In spite of remaining part of a state enterprise, its op-
eration is completely autonomous in administrative
and financial fields. It does not receive governmental
contributions and its growth is only based on the in-
come generated by its own activity.
TAME was born as a romantic idea of the 60’s,
when a group of professionals from the Air Force
thought they would help the country’s develop-
ment with air operations to destinations where no
one came and we still pursue the goal of integrat-
ing the country.
