TAM Mercosur has merged with LATAM Airlines

TAM Mercosur was an airline that operated from 1996 to 2008 and was based in Asuncion, Paraguay. It was the flag carrier and national airline of Paraguay during this time. TAM Mercosur was founded in 1996 under the name 'Lineas Aereas Paraguayas' until it was acquired in the same year by TAM Airlines, leading to its new name 'TAM Mercosur'.

TAM Mercosur primarily operated domestic routes within Paraguay as well as some international routes to neighbouring countries using a fleet of Fokker F-100s and Airbus A320s.

In 2008, due to a branding strategy, TAM Mercosur lost its distinct identity and adopted the branding of TAM Airlines. Its name was then changed to TAM Paraguay, followed by the merger with LAN Airlines to later become part of the LATAM Airlines group in 2012. Today, the airline operates as LATAM Airlines Paraguay and no longer uses TAM Mercosur branding.
