[edit] History
Tikal Jets Airlines started operations in 1992. In November 1998 it changed ownership to become the Guatemalan National Airline, at that time Tikal Jets had been very successful with constant growth, becoming one of the leader businesses in Guatemala.[citation needed] With sustainable growth Tikal Jets Airlines had been able to acquire modern and larger airplanes. At the same time each department of the organization has maintained it high quality standards. Tikal Jets Airines can be considered Central America's first low cost carrier.[citation needed] The airline officially ceased operations on August 31, 2006.
In a letter from President of Tikal Jets Airlines he stated:
"Dear Friends: With much regret and sadness we inform you that from August 31, 2006, Tikal Jets Airlines, will be canceling all its air operations, as the Guatemalan airline. This decision was made, because we did not find all the necessary conditions to be developed as an Airline. Tikal Jets Airlines has rented its 3 DC9 airplanes to an a South American airline, for a period of three years. We want to assure and guarantee you that all your passengers and reservations will be protected with another airlines in Guatemala that also has the operation Guatemala – Flores – Guatemala. TIKAL JETS AIRLINES, really wants to thank you for the confidence you had about us, during all this years we worked together.[1]
