The 17 from December, but on 1962, the aerolíflag line of Ecuador began operations. Hoy Tame EP Ecuador Eastá de aniversario cumpliendo un año más llegando a destinos donde ninguna otra lo hace.
The úlast 6 años para Tame han sido complejos y han traído una gran incertidumbre sobre su futuro aeronáuseful en prensa y púwar in general. Estos problemas han aterrizado en la aerolínea por temas económicos principalmente debido a una agresiva expansión internacional en el 2013 y aparentes malos manejos administrativos que sin duda nos hacen recordar a Ecuatoriana de Aviación.
During the 2017 and 2019, the airínea ha tomado correctivos y medidas que le han permitido, first, reducir sus pérdidas que acumuladas según algunos reportes, exceed the $200 millones y mejorar su operatividad con la recuperación y mantenimiento de aviones que estaban en tierra por largos periodos debido a la falta de recursos para realizar sus mantenimientos programados en base a lo que indican los fabricantes.
on this new anniversary, Tame busca volver a despegar y demostrar al país y a sus clientes frecuentes, que una Empresa Pública puede ser correctamente administrada, rentable y un digno representante del país en el mundo.
Tame's Story
Tame nació like an aerosolínea militar, founded the 17 from December to 1962, by Colonel Luis A.. Ortega bajo el apoyo del Coronel Guillermo Freile Posso como un proyecto de tesis donde se incluía todos los parámetros operativos. Su nombre originalmente significaba Transportes AéEcuadorian Military Prisoners – TAME and was fully managed by the Force AéEcuadorian area – FAE. Fundada para brindar servicios a zonas remotas de Ecuador de carácter social y donde ninguna otra aerolínea de la época vuele, poco a poco la aerolínea se fue posicionando en la mente de los ecuatorianos como la aerolíflag line.
TAME's first flight was officially given on 4 from December to 1962 al mando de Teodoro Malo y José Montesinos en un avión Douglas C-47 en la ruta Quito, Esmeraldas, Bahía, Manta, Guayaquil, Cuenca and back to Quito. Subsequently, y con el crecimiento de la aerolínea, DC-3 and DC-6 aircraft were incorporated. On 1970 llegaron a Ecuador los dos primer Avro HS-748 que también operó Force Aérea.
in the middle of the 70, Tame adquirió 4 Lockheed L-188 Electra que operaron antes para Ecuatoriana de Aviación, to later in the early 80s, incrementar su capacidad y mejorar sus servició comprando los primeros tres Boeing 727-100 con los que empezó a volar a Manta, Cuenca, and Emeralds. Between 1980 and 1992, Tame continuó expandiendo su flota, incorporating four Boeing aircraft 727-200 and 3 Fokker 28 Fellowship (series 2000 and 4000) con los primeros empezó a volar entre Quito y Bogotá para Air France y con los segundos la ruta Quito – Tulceaán – Cali, que es la ruta internacional más antigua de la aerolínea.
Spaghettién por un corto periodo, until his accident in Cuenca, Tame voló a boeing 737-200 HC-BIG, el cual había sido comprado directamente a Boeing nuevo de fábrica.
for a brief period, TAME alquiló a boeing 757-200 procedente de México para ampliar su operación y capacidad en las Islas Galápaid (Baltra).
For the beginning of 2000, TAME inició su plan y estrategia de renovación of the fleet, which saw the green light 13 august 2003 with the arrival in Ecuador of the 2 First new Airbus A320 HC-CDY and HC-CDZ leased to European manufacturer. Subsequently, el plan de renovationón continuaría con la incorporación of 2 Embraer 170 HC-CEY and HC-CEX and an Embraer 190 HC-CEZ this in March 2006. in december 2007 arriveían otros 2 Embraer 190 HC-CGF the HC-CGG, all these 5 Embraer fueron comprados nuevos de fábrica.
During the 2007, in an alliance between Tame and the defunct Saereo, se crea la primera versión del proyecto TameXpress, where Tame provided the routes and Saereo operated the flights with its Embraer aircraft 120, los cuales fueron pintados especialmente agregando los títulos del proyecto.
Between 2008 and 2009, Tame incorporates the first Airbus A319 HC-CGT and the first Airbus A320 are replaced by others with lower rental costs, completando la renovación de flota con el Airbus A320 HC-CID, con el que tambiéin the beginningó the change, renovationón y modernizationón de imagen corporativa de la aerolínea.
On 2011, Tame cambia su denominación y deja de ser un ente administrado por la Fuerza AéEcuadorian area, changing their name to Tame E.P – Línea AéEcuador area, eliminando el acrónimo y pasa a ser una Empresa Pública administrada por el Estado ecuatoriano.
The 8 October 2011, Also come the 3 ATR42-500 thanks to the support of the Government, with which the TameXpress project was born, para volar a destinos sociales como Tulcán, Macas, Again, Santa Rosa, Latacunga and others. El proyecto no prosperó y los aviones empezaron a operar en rutas que generaban rentabilidad para la aerolínea.
In this period of time and up to the 2013, the airínea empieza a volar de manera regular, leaving behindás su característica operación chárter en el Caribe, to international destinations such as Havana, Bogotaá, Caracas and Lima. At 2013 Tame's first wide body arrives in Guayaquil, an Airbus A330-200 HC-COH with which he flies to his first destination in the United States, New York with 1 daily flight.
The same toñO 2013, Tame embarks on a new social project, con la adquisición of 3 Quest Kodiak aircraft 100 for the project based on the Shell Mera Airport, called Tame Amazonia. With this project promoted by the Government and the local authority, se busca brindar servicio a pistas y poblaciones remotas donde el acceso es limitado y brindar ayuda social con traslado de sus habitantes que necesitan trasladarse a ciudad para recibir atención médica o realizar trámites personales a precios diferenciados y económonkeys.
Subsequently, will be inauguratedían nuevos destinos hacia Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Fort Lauderdale (the 2 The first ones were closed and Fort Lauderdale operates from Guayaquil) y su flota creció llegando a un histórico núgrouper 17 aviones en una aerolíecuadorian nea.

Very good chronology of the history of Tame, its a pity its end. As you pointed out above, Tame deserved a better fate, but unfortunately the lack of care in its administrative and financial management has led it to plummet in recent 9 years. Whenever I hear a plane and look up at the sky, I will remember it..
Well now it's just history Take me down in history.
I have been 15 years at Tame as maintenance technician, the company was one of the best with high quality standards in Ecuador was the first with certification. ISO 9001-2000, was certified with IOSA, In my opinion, the FAE managed the company in a better way when it passed into civilian hands, they finished off Tame, The administration changed, people from other aviation companies came that closed and interest groups began to form ex-military, Tame civilian employees aligned with the policy imposed by FAE at the time, the new civilians of the former saeta, former Ecuadorian and other companies from then on Tame did not grow but the losses began. Tame had his own planes the B727 – F 28-4000 but the geniuses arrived and we came to this. Just to see their own interest and not as a state company, now that it is in liquidation, many things will come to light for everyone
Now we will not have a national flag airline.
thanks Nicholas… all the best…
How wonderful to see the 727, Among the few trips I made in them, I remember that the HC-BLF took us to the Galapagos for a 6th grade trip, which unfortunately crashed in Tulcán… Suddenly you know how many passengers each of the 727 of tame ? (Mike, Sierra, Romeo, Charlie, India, Echo and Victor)
Very good question Patrick., I only remember that the 727-200 They had 155 seating, being able to be wrong.
It seems to me that it was better operated by the FAE, it was able to grow in a controlled way and sustain itself., I would think that if it were still operated by FAE, the airline would be in better hands and there would not be the waste of money that there was., let's hope we don't lose it.
However, the accidents that claimed a large number of human lives were during that administration, all under the command of military pilots.
The 80% of the pilots of the airlines that operate in Ecuador are ex-military
It makes me sad to see how the flag carrier will come to a time when it can be dissolved ?
.
good post☺?
Let's hope that day doesn't come and they manage to get ahead.
