Talk:Avianca El Salvador

TACA International Airlines
This article does not mention in claritiy, how the salvadoran TACA International Airlines has existed for over 75 years, and that, that airline was the one that absorved the rest in the region.

Actually, there isn't an article at all in Wikipedia about TACA International Airlines, seems 75 years of its life were thrown out the window, and the focus is now on the adquisictions TACA made starting in the 1990's of LACSA, Aviateca, NICA and the rest. Lets not forget that all the capital came from San Salvador, El Salvador. (except TACA Peru, TACA holds 49% of its shares and it is in charge of full operations, planes, routes, maintenance etc.)

Finally, the brand name "Grupo Taca" is long gone, the CEO and Owner Roberto Kriete returned back to its original name (the name of the El Salvador flag airline), TACA International Airlines along with new logo and livery.

NEW LOOK for TACA
As of today 9/25, TACA has unveiled their new look, and have reverted back to using only TACA, as it was in the past; TACA International (of El Salvador). The acquisition of the other central american airlines by the Salvadoran firm produced the temporary name Grupo TACA while the unification was ironed out.

New logo, new livery, new uniforms for the staff and pilots.

Here's the link to the unveilment in San Salvador, El Salvador today 9/25 with pictures...

Someone please update this article; anytime I touch a period someone always sends me to hell and block me for weeks, I have no clue why lol. Thanks.

Grupo TACA v TACA
Sounds to me like Grupo TACA is a holding company or a marketing aliance and the member airlines actually operate the flights. This is really confusing with this article as worded since if my assumption is correct we are trying to cover in one article what would be best split into two articles. Vegaswikian 02:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hard to say. The aircraft tails of some of their aircraft have "Grupo TACA" written on them, and apparently now almost all the aircraft are liveried as "TACA," not the old member names (i.e. Aviateca, Lacsa, etc.). But either way, I think "Grupo TACA" is a better article title than "TACA (airline)." The correct name might be TACA International, but I'm not certain of that. --Nobunaga24 02:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Those are the facts that someone needs to research. Since this is an encylopedia, it should be accurate.  If the airline needs to be called TACA (airline) for dab purposes, the name should not be a reason to not have the article at that name.  Also if one of the member airlines has an article, it probably means that they all should have an article with the group having an article.  Think of it as a small Star Alliance.  Vegaswikian 04:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually it looks like Grupo TACA does the international flights and TACA Regional airlines do the domestic routes. From one web site it showed the airlines (albeit without any indication of when this was for) as:
 * Honduras – Islena Airlines
 * Costa Rica – Sansa Airlines
 * Panama – Aeroperlas
 * Guatamala - Inter
 * Nicaraqua - La Costena
 * From the article page this shows as:
 * TACA (El Salvador)
 * Aviateca (Guatemala)
 * Lacsa (Costa Rica)
 * Aeronica (Nicaragua)
 * TACA de Honduras (Honduras)
 * Not sure which is correct. Vegaswikian 04:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I seem to find too. If I'm not mistaken, Grupo TACA is now the blanket name for all the airlines. I have seen Grupo TACA, TACA Regional, TACA International, plain ol' TACA, Cargo TACA. As virtually all the airlines (not the regionals) now fly under TACA livery and callsigns and ICAO (someone correct me if I'm wrong), I think it's probably more than just an alliance like Star Alliance. I'm wondering if the national names are kept more for national pride than anything else. I think Lacsa is the only one still using its own ICAO/callsign, etc.Skyscanner, Airtimes, JetPhotos.net use TACA International Airlines. But I also found this interesting item, which is apparently a complaint by the teamsters asserting that Grupo TACA is one airline, not individual carriers in an alliance. No easy answers on this one probably, but I think "Grupo TACA" or "TACA International Airlines" are probably the best contenders. --Nobunaga24 06:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well we did some digging without a clear answer. So I guess this will wait till someone who knows can explain it and make sure the aricle is correct.  Vegaswikian 07:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Then what about TACA International Airlines, since it is in plural, it explains all the airlines involved in the problem.

I am pretty sure Grupo Taca is fine. Taca would refer to the airline prior to the giant takeover. After the take over people say TACA but it should be grupo Taca. Brusegadi 11:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Grupo Taca should be placed as a holding company, since the airlines are just allianced, they are not merged, its just a holding company which owns several airlines, just like AMR owning american airlines and american eagle an it isn't called AMR airlines, or just like Copa holdings being with Aerorepublica and COPA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.218.81.108 (talk • contribs)

That's kinda true, but should it be Grupo Taca or Grupo TACA, I think Grupo Taca would be more better, since the acronym is barely used and several acronym using lines like Avianca use lowercase letters instead of large letters.Señorplayero 22:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Secondary Hubs
Woooow, who put a lot of secondary hubs, i think that the secondary hub is just guatemala this isn't a big airline --200.35.167.27 (talk) 04:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

La Aurora as Secondary Hub
Why la Aurora Airport is not on the secondary hubs section? this airport is a secondary hub, and soon will be a primary hub too! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.35.167.25 (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * For which airline(s)? 68.119.73.36 (talk) 05:41, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Parent Company
Please check the parent company as it is not Synergy Group. TACA and Avianca formed a new company to hold both airlines. Please checkFrapoz (talk) 05:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Are the Fokkers still in use?
Section 2.1: AviancaTaca and modernization says that Fokker 50's and 100's were being replaced and are currently in use, but from several years ago. Are these older planes still in use today? What is the current fleet made of? Nutster (talk) 14:41, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Never mind. I found section 5: Fleet.  I will edit the modernization section with the proper tenses.  Should the Fokkers be listed in the historic fleet, however? Nutster (talk) 14:44, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Page Move?
Why was this page moved without consensus? Thanks --JetBlast (talk) 06:41, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Unclear lead
The lead swaps back and forth between the present and past tenses. Could somebody who's familiar with the subject please correct that? (I suppose it should be in the past tense but it's hard to tell without reading the whole article.) Dricherby (talk) 09:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Move?
Hello! Can I please move the page to TACA Airlines? I want to move the page because the article continually references Avianca El Salvador as TACA, so I think it would be easier for the reader to comprehend if we moved the page to TACA Airlines.

Or we could separate Avianca El Salvador from TACA or vice versa.
