History
Abaeté Aviação can trace its origins to Aerotáxi Abaeté, an air taxi airline established in 1979. In 1994, Aerotáxi Abaeté established a sister company called Abaeté Linhas Aéreas, dedicated to the operation of scheduled services. In 1995 a holding called Abaeté Aviação was created, comprising Aerotáxi Abaeté and Abaeté Linhas Aéreas. Both companies continued to offer services as charter and scheduled airlines and sometimes interchanged aircraft.[2][3] Abaeté Linhas Aéreas ceased services in 2012 but Abaeté Aviação continued to exist.
In March 2020, Abaeté Aviação was granted authorization to operate regular flights on its own right.[4]
