ACES Colombia

ACES (Spanish acronym: Aerolíneas Centrales de Colombia) was an airline based at Olaya Herrera International Airport in Medellín, Colombia.The company was founded on August 31st in 1971 by a group of 13 Colombian entrepreneurs, amongst them, most notably Orlando Botero Escobar and German Peñaloza Arias from Manizales and Luis H. Coulson, Jorge Coulson R., Alberto Jaramillo and Hernando Zuluaga from Medellin. Mr. Botero and Mr. Peñaloza considered pioneers in the early days of Colombian commercial aviation, had tried several times to establish a commuter service between Manizales and Bogota, they managed to run and operate a small commuter service airline by the name TARCA (acronym of Taxi Aereo de Caldas) which was forced to shut down due to financial difficulties. With the support of the new partners from Medellin, they embarked on a successful enterprise that earned the respect of the competition and the love of their customers. The airline began service in 1972 with Saunders ST-27 aircraft for the routes Medellin-Bogota and Manizales-Bogota, and soon became a major player in the Colombian market. By 1976, the airline had expanded its network to smaller regional destinations, for which it purchased DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. 1981 saw the introduction of the first jet aircraft to ACES' fleet with the very popular Boeing 727-100 which allowed for longer routes and shorter flight-time.
