History

TAR began in October 2011, owned by the MAFRA Group (Grupo MAFRA). In April 2012 the Mexican government granted permission, to make scheduled regular flight services to Link Corporación Áerea. In September 2012, Link purchased three Embraer ERJ 145 jets, with a capacity of 50 passengers, to be delivered in February 2014, to begin scheduled flight services. The airline started services in March 2014, as TAR Aerolíneas with a direct flight between Quéretaro and Puerto Vallarta.

TAR's aim is to become the strongest regional airline in the country, with a cellular multiregional growth strategy. With the development of Regional Routes, TAR aims to develop a strong presence in different regions including, the Yucatán Peninsula, the Gulf of México, the Mid North region, the Pacific, and the South. With just two years of service, TAR Airlines beats its competitor Aeromar by getting more domestic passengers on flights than Aeromar, which has been operating for more than 29 years.
