History

In 1992, the Grupo TACA reorganized the airline and without government intervention, it launched Nica Airlines, which operated domestic and international flights from Managua.

In 2004, the airline ceased operations under its commercial brand "NICA" and merged with TACA. Its domestic flight duties were given to Nicaragua's domestic flag carrier, La Costeña, who also joined the TACA Regional alliance. La Costeña however, differs from NICA because it still operates under its company name.
