The airline was founded in Campinas in 1994 under the name Transportes Charter do Brasil . Initially, the company did not use its own aircraft, but rented Douglas DC-8 aircraft from the Colombian LAC Colombia for a short time for its transport jobs . From January 1997 a Douglas DC-8-52F was leased for the first time on a long-term basis. In July 1999, a Douglas DC-8-54F added to the fleet. In 2000 the company was named Brasil Transair - Transportes Charter Turismo .
At the beginning of 2001, the Chilean LAN Airlines acquired a majority stake in the company, which was then renamed ABSA - Aerolinhas Brasileiras ( ABSA Cargo in the external image ) and integrated into the LAN-Chile-Cargo-Group that was established in 1998 . ABSA Cargo put its first Boeing 767 cargo aircraft into service in January 2002 .
The Brazilian TAM Linhas Aéreas founded its cargo flight division TAM Cargo back in 2008 . Following the completion in August 2012 merger between LAN and Brazil's TAM Linhas Aéreas to LATAM Airlines Group , which practically constituted a takeover by LAN, the airline was ABSA - Aerolinhas Brasileiras as TAM Cargo administratively in the TAM Cargo incorporated.
