TAM Transportes Aéreos Regionais S.A., established in 1976, was a leading regional airline in Brazil during the 1980s. The company focused on passenger and cargo transportation, connecting smaller cities with major aviation hubs. In this period, TAM extensively operated the Fokker F27-600, a variant of the turboprop Fokker F27 Friendship. Developed in the Netherlands, this aircraft was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart engines. The Fokker F27-600 was used by TAM for flights to destinations with limited airport infrastructure, contributing to the development of regional aviation in Brazil. By the late 1980s, the company began transitioning to more modern aircraft types.
