TRIP Linhas Aéreas ( Transporte Aéreo Regional do Interior Paulista ) was a national Brazilian regional airline based in Campinas and based at São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport . It was owned by the Caprioli Group (51%) and the Águia Branca Group (49%).
history
The establishment by the Caprioli Group and the start of flight operations took place in 1998 with 2 Embraer EMB-120s . The route network has been continuously expanded since then and now extends across Brazil with 64 destinations. The fleet was enlarged accordingly through the use of used ATR 42 and ATR 72 machines. After the Aguia Branca Group entered the market in November 2006, seven ATR 72-500 machines were ordered on January 25, 2007 with the option of a further five machines. It was the first new order of ATR 72-500 from Brazil.
On November 13, 2007, the airlines TRIP Linhas Aéreas and Total Linhas Aéreas applied to the national air traffic control authority to merge, which took place in May 2008. Total Linhas Aéreas is a national cargo airline and will continue to be run as an independent brand.
On May 28, 2012, the merger of the airlines Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras and TRIP Linhas Aéreas was announced. On March 6, 2013, the Brazilian authorities approved the merger. The new airline will operate under the name Azul and is now the third largest airline in Brazil.
