Transcarga is a restarting airline based out of Venuzela that operates a fleet of cargo aircraft. The airline has a history of shutting down and is the second version of Transcarga with the first interiation of the airline being owned by former airline Viasa.
History
[edit]The original airline can be traced back to 1969 when it was founded as a cargo airline run by the airline Viasa. The airline would operate a fleet of Douglas DC 7s and Douglas DC 8s right up until it's closure in 1979.[1]
The current Transcarga was founded in the year 1998 by a former Viasa captain after the closure of the company he used to work for. The airline then would commence operations on November 1 2001 while only using Venezuelan capital.[1] In 2002 the airline would gain a permit to operate to the United States which gave it leverage. Initially it operated charter flights from Venezuela to the Untied States.[2]
The airline would begin it's flights to Houston and Miami in 2015 with the Caracas-Miami flights being 20 times a week and the Caracas-Houston flights being 10 times a week.[1]
In 2019 the airline would try to gain a bid for the United States government to exempt it from being banned from United States Airspace which was denied over security concerns as a result of a ban between Venezuelan flights. At the time of the ban Transcarga had a single Airbus A300 freighter in it's fleet.[3][4]
In 2024 JMB Aviaiton group which is the parent company for Transcarga began looking at the Boeing 737-400 freighters for both Transcarga and Cargo Three.[5]

The airline in 2026 began to eye the MD 10 freighters for it's revival after a period of dormancy ever since it went bust in October of 2023.[6] The airline in January gained it's AOC again and is actively restarting it's operations using the MD 10 for these flights which are former Fedex aircraft.[2]

Accidents
[edit]On February 9, 2012, a Cessna 402B was flying from Antonio Nicolás Briceño Airport to Josefa Camejo International Airport with two crew members and one passenger on board. The cargo of the Cessna consisted of valuables. During the approach to Punto Fijo, the crew encountered technical problems and decided to ditch the aircraft offshore from the Amuay refinery. All three occupants were rescued as the aircraft sank.[7]
On June 6, 2012, an Airbus A300 registered as N821SC was parked at Simón Bolívar International Airport when it was struck on the horizontal stabilizer by a MAS Air Cargo Boeing 767 while taxiing with the damage was so extensive that any repair was not economically viable.[8]
