TAESA (Transportes Aéreos Ejecutivos) was a low cost airline with its headquarters in No. 27 of Hangar Zone C on the grounds of Mexico City International Airport in Mexico City, Mexico.〔"(avicom2.htm )." TAESA. Retrieved on July 4, 2010.〕 The airline, owned by a business person legally represented by Alberto Abed Schekaiban, was established on April 27, 1988 operating executive business aircraft and later on in 1989 received their first Boeing 727-100 which was used to launch regular scheduled passenger service. Taesa began growing rapidly using 727's in airline service. In 1991, they received their first Boeing 757-200 and became the first commercial airline in Mexico to operate this aircraft type. Also in 1991, several Boeing 737-300's were added with additional 757's and a sole Boeing 767-300 being added as well to a fleet of Boeing 737-200/300/400/500 jetliners. Taesa was at that time the first Boeing 737-500 operator in Latin America. During the first half of the 1990s, Taesa was quite successful flying cargo for DHL and Serpaprosa with their Boeing 727-100C's. Also during this time, several 737's were leased to Garuda Indonesia to make Asian flights. Meanwhile, they won charter contracts from companies such as Apple Vacations. By 1992, the airline was operating many charter flights to cities in Canada, Europe and the USA.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/13/business/mexico-s-little-airline-that-could.html〕 In the domestic market, TAESA started a fare war with the main carriers, Aeroméxico and Mexicana.〔http://www.joc.com/budget-mexican-airline-adjusts-meet-crisis_19951120.html〕 After the 1995 downturn in the Mexican economy, they removed later model jetliners in favor of older Boeing 727-100 and 727-200 aircraft and also added Douglas DC-9-15's McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30's and later a pair of Airbus A300B4's. Taesa was the first Mexican airline to fly scheduled passenger service to Japan with two flights a week operated during a four-month time period in 1995. The airline was having regulatory and maintenance issues for quite some time with a constant anti-labor politics, the accident of Flight 725 resulted in the suspension of its license, hastening the airline's demise. After the accident the airline went through a huge inspection on behalf of the Mexican DGAC and was subject to comply certain security issues to resume operations, the airline was declared bankrupt on February 21, 2000. Some of the staff and assets were taken over and Líneas Aéreas Azteca was established on 9 May 2000 and started operations on 1 June 2001 operating domestic services with Boeing 737 aircraft.〔Flight International 5–11 April 2005〕 TAESA was one of Mexico's first low-cost air carriers. == Affiliates == *Aviación del Noroeste *LaTur *NSW New Southways- Cargo division *Puebla Air Lines 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TAESA Lineas Aéreas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
