TABA (from Transportes Aéreos Bandeirantes) was founded in 1945 by Alberto Martins Torres, a former pilot of the Brazilian Air Force. Originally the airline was called Transportes Aéreos da Bacia Amazônica and revenue was based on the transportation of rubber to Belém. However, even before starting its services, the market for rubber changed, prices dropped and operation on that basis became unviable. For this reason the owner requested that the Brazilian authorities change its authorized routes for the trunk route Rio de Janeiro / Porto Alegre. Since it would not operate in the Amazon Basin anymore, the name was changed to Transportes Aéreos Bandeirantes in order to maintain the acronym.[1]
30 September 1949: a Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina registration PP-BLB hit an obstacle under the water while landing at Iguape, São Paulo and capsized. A crew member and two passengers died.
