History

The airline was established as MasAir in 1992 and started operations in April 1992 providing air cargo services to clients principally in Latin America and the United States, operating over 600 flights which move near 60,000 tons of air cargo annually.[2] In December 2000, LAN Airlines purchased a 25% stake in MasAir.

In August 2015, it was announced that all LATAM Airlines Group airlines would fully rebrand as LATAM, and Mas Air was rebranded as LATAM Cargo Mexico.[2]

On December 1, 2018, the LATAM Group sold its shares of Mas Air; the latter now operates independently from LATAM Group.[3][2]
