In 1992, Lisbon based Air Atlantis operated the IT-charter program out
of Groningen Airport Eelde in the Netherlands, to Faro in Portugal. Air
Atlantis was formed in May 1985 as a subsidiary of TAP (Transportes Aéreos Portugueses)
and operated Boeing 707; Boeing 727 and Boeing 737 aeroplanes, all leased
from TAP. When, caused by insolvency, the operations of Air Atlantis
stopped early 1993, the aircraft returned to TAP. Boeing 737 CS-TIG flew
first on 9 November 1989 and was one of three subleased from Bavaria
Flug. After the defunct of Air Atlantis, the CS-TIG became part of the
TAP-fleet. On 16 December 2001, the CS-TIG was registered PR-BRE with
Brasil Rodo Aereo. |
