Air Service

ABSA - Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A. is a Brazilian all-cargo airline that specialized in domestic and international freight operations. The carrier focused on transporting goods throughout Brazil and to key international destinations, operating as a significant player in the South American air cargo market. ABSA became a subsidiary of TAM Airlines and later came under the LATAM Cargo umbrella following the merger of TAM and LAN Airlines, which formed LATAM Airlines Group. This integration meant ABSA's operations were progressively absorbed into the broader LATAM Cargo network. The airline operated under the IATA code M3 and ICAO code TUS, with the radio callsign 'ABSA Cargo.' Its operations centered on freighter services, making it an important link in Brazil's logistics chain before its consolidation into LATAM Cargo.
