LATAM Cargo Brasil (formerly TAM Cargo and previously ABSA Cargo Airline) is a cargo airline based in Campinas, Brazil. It operates scheduled services within Latin America and between Brazil and the United States as well as charter services. Its main base is Viracopos International Airport.[2]

It is a sister company of LATAM Cargo Chile and LATAM Cargo Colombia.

History[]

The airline was established and started operations on June 2, 1995 as Brasil Transair - Transportes Charter Turismo.

In November 2001, LAN Airlines acquired a majority stake of the company, which was then renamed ABSA - Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A. and integrated into the LAN Chile Group. ABSA Cargo put its first Boeing 767-300F into service in January 2002. It is owned by LAN Airlines (74%), Jochmann (13%) and TADEF (13%) and had 285 employees as of March 2007.[2]

Since July 2012 it traded as TAM Cargo instead of the former ABSA Cargo Airline name, after the absorption of TAM Linhas Aéreas by its parent LAN Airlines to form the LATAM Airlines Group. In 2016, it has again been rebranded from TAM Cargo to the current LATAM Cargo Brasil in line with LATAM Cargo Chile, the former LAN Cargo.
