History of Embraer in Tame
They passed almost 14 years since Tame EP received its first Embraer of the model 170 HC-CEY and HC-CEX registration 25 march 2006, which was also one of the first aircraft manufactured of this model and of which the Ecuadorian airline was a launch customer in the region.
The letter of intent between Embraer and Tame was signed in 2004 and in 2005 The purchase was completed in Sao José dos Campos, in the state of Sao Paulo.
The contract at that time highlighted the purchase of 2 Embraer aircraft 170 and an Embraer 190, with the intention of purchasing 4 more aircraft of the same family later.
For the operation of these aircraft in Ecuador, The relationship between Tame and Embraer was fundamental, given that the Brazilian manufacturer, in close relationship with the Ecuadorian airline, worked to carry out all the certification processes for the aircraft that had just begun to fly in the world..
This is how the Embraers also arrived 190 HC-CEZ (hilly) and some time later the Erj 190 HC-CGG the HC-CGF.
The first Embraer were acquired after analysis and study carried out in agreement with the Inter-American Development Bank – IDB and the National Bank for Economic and Social Development of Brazil.
The remaining two Embraer that were in the intention of purchasing did not materialize, but other second-hand ones did arrive with HC-COY and HC-COX license plates. (hilly) both leased, one with purchase intention, but they were incorporated as a replacement for the first two Embraers 170 that were sold to Aeromexico during the 2015.
From the Embraer fleet 190 of Tame, which at its best was composed of 5 aircraft of which two were Erj-170 and 3 Erj-190, At the time of this publication, only one Embraer is operational. 190 HC-CGF, while HC-CGG is grounded for maintenance, while the HC-COY left the fleet towards Costa Rica ready to return to its owner.
Regardless of what the history of these aircraft was in Tame, The airline turns the page and now focuses on a new objective that it seeks recover the profitability and trust of travelers in Ecuador.
Finally, Although Tame stops operating the Embraer in Ecuador, we can still see for example, al Embraer 145 of Petroamazonas or the Embraer Legacy Presidential and the FAE Super Tucanos, so the presence of the Brazilian manufacturer in the country will remain for many more years..
see you forever!

Politics within aviation will end with the flag airline, They say that everything in life is cyclical, I'm sure if, politicians ended the other flag airline.
Hello, good afternoon, There is no need for the blog of the first Air Canada flight to Quito. how did it go?
It's just been published right now :)
A shame. I consider that smaller planes like the Embraer or the ATR themselves are ideal for operations in a country like Ecuador.. This would help increase frequencies to destinations like Loja, Santa Rosa, Esmeraldas, or Cuenca from Guayaquil, without having to send large underutilized aircraft. Obviously, Fees should offset operating costs to make the operation profitable.
Definitely, smaller aircraft are needed in Ecuador. However, the Embraer is a great plane, but for Tame it was expensive to operate, the ATR is excellent in costs, but with less capacity.
Because TAME doesn't disappear all at once , This company is a cangrenous wound for the body that is the Ecuadorian state.,
My way of seeing is that Tame should not disappear for the good of the market and certain exclusive routes that it still operates and no other does..
