Aeronica

Aerolíneas Nicaragüenses S.A., operating as Aeronica, was an airline based in Nicaragua.Headquartered in the capital Managua, it operated scheduled passenger flights within Central America, as well as to Mexico City and the United States from its hub at the city's Augusto C. Sandino International Airport.[1] Aeronica was founded in 1981,[1] as a consequence of the demise of LANICA in earlier that year.[5] On February 28, 1992, TACA acquired a 49 percent stake in the company, resulting in the loss of many jobs in Nicaragua.Existing Aeronica airport infrastructure was then repurposed by Grupo TACA for use in their associated animal-transportation firm.
