[edit] Company History
Set up in 1988 with the purpose of helping develop the tourist market, La Tur began operations using McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft. One year later the Airbus A300-600 was introduced for flights to Europe. Then plans were made to replace the MD-83s with Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 but the financial situation did not allow for it.
By 1992 La Tur had too much capacity and the A300 was leased out, but the fall of the Mexican peso and the deregulation of the Mexican air transport led to the take over of the remaining staff and aircraft by Taesa. [1]
