—–
With inform usón contrasted on the airline web systemínea the úLast flight to beá the 5 March and it is no longer possible to make reservations after that date.
Tame's fate has not been without controversy or trouble., generated by the operationótriangular n that connected to Quito with Caracas Vía Bogotá from the 11 September 2012.
This route had the return of Tame to Bogotaá the 9 July 2012 and given the known problems with the destination Caracas, the route sufferedó más of a suspenseón temporal and no doubt, affectó At the time the image of the airlineíNEA in the Colombian market.
Now, the closure of flights to «The Golden», destination to which Tame arrivesó to operate in your úlast return with even 2 daily flights from Quito and with 3 weekly flights from Guayaquil, adds to the recent cancellations/suspensions of Lima (spaghettién from the 6 of March), New York and Salinas, All within the reduction planón of non -profitable destinations, fleet and personnel that the airlineínea isá implementing for this 2019.

reasons
As we previously learned in an exclusive interview with the General Manager of Tame EP, the airíNea is 2019 concentrateá In recovering the dom marketéStico and unify your fleet, but maintaining in the international Fort Lauderdale and Cali (International route máold Aerolínea), But Lima and Bogotá They were in feasibility and profitability study.
Everything points to Bogotá Nor does the occupation objectives meetón and profitability that the airlineíNea waits and needs to clean up its finances, So together with Lima alsoén was a feeder route in New York, así that runs out of space on the airline route mapístate line.
The routes of Lima, Bogotaá and New York have been officially suspended and it is not ruled out that they could return in the future, Once Tame recovers from his situationón current and have the new fleet plan implemented within its restructuringón.
Why does the route to Cali start from Esmeraldas? It is a very strange route, connectivity is limited, and I don't think there is as much direct demand between Cali and Esmeraldas. It is surprising that it is not from Guayaquil or Quito, the latter would be even more understandable since Avianca already flies daily from Guayaquil to Cali.
The route is Quito – Esmeraldas – Cali, it is interborder route, which operates as if it were a domestic flight, which makes it cheaper in its costs.
Another failed as a result of criteria errors and permanent operations
