[edit] Company History
TAE was set up in 1957 but did not begin flight operations until April 1967. The first aircraft to be operated was the L-1049 Super Constellation but in early 1970, as a result of financial losses, flights were temporarily suspended. It was not until three years later that operations were restated by leasing two Douglas DC-8s. Operations were concentrated on charter and inclusive tour flights, maninly from Germany.
In 1975 an SE 210 Caravelle was acquired followed by a second Caravelle in 1976. In 1975 Air Spain ceased operations and TAE leased one further Caravelle to fill in the vacuum in the charter market. The year 1980 brought an economic recesion to Spain and most of Western Europe and the fortunes of TAE began to decline. Another factor that influenced the decline of TAE was increased competition from other charter operator. That combined with the fact that TAE was operating old DC-8 and Caravelle aircraft led to financial difficulties. At the beginning of 1982 TAE ceased operations and was dissolved. [1]
