TACA is IOSA-certified (IATA Operational Security Audit) and provides fist-class maintenance services thanks to Aeroman ACTS, which services distinguished U.S. airlines such as JetBlue and U.S. Airways, in addition to various leading Latin American airlines. Aeroman ACTS is one of very few maintenance centers in the world which are highly recommended by Airbus Industries.

TACA’s REGIONAL business unit complements our airline’s Central American network. With a fleet of 10 ATR-42 and 16 Cessna Grand Caravan propeller planes, REGIONAL operates close to 150 flights per day. REGIONAL services small and medium-sized destinations from Cancun, Mexico to the north, to Panama’s San Blas Islands to the south. REGIONAL offers transportation services that are safe, friendly and reliable to destinations that are too small to accommodate a jet.

In order to provide travelers with additional options, TACA holds code-sharing agreements with other airlines. An agreement between Iberia and TACA allows travelers to enjoy direct flights between Central America and Spain, with connections to the rest of Latin America through TACA and to other European cities through Iberia. An agreement with United Airlines offers varied travel options by transparently combining segments serviced by both airlines. The airlines maintain complementary route networks which give passengers access to destinations all over the world. Additionally, these code share agreements allow users to combine loyalty programs, such as TACA’s Distancia program, Iberia’s Plus program and United’s Mileage Plus. Through its recent alliance with Avianca, is now part of the leading airline group y Latin America, serving over 100 destinations.
