Operator History

Aerovias International Balboa SA was founded as Aerovias Transcaribe SA, and probably changed its name in 1966. It was a scheduled cargo carrier serving points in South and Central America. On 28 May 1962, the US CAB granted Balboa the right to flight commercially to and from Miami, FL from Panama. Balboa's air operator certificate was cancelled in August 1974, and the airline subsequently stopped operations.
