Editing TAME (section)

===Development during the 2000s===
In 2000, TAME began a long process of fleet renewal beginning with the renting of two [[Airbus A320]]s. These planes were delivered at the European Corporation Assemble factory, [[Toulouse]] and were renewed in 2008. Also in 2000, the Boeing 727s were retired. TAME found the Embraer 170/190s suited the airline's needs. Over the next two years, two models of the 170 series and one of the 190 series were obtained. On August 25, 2008, one Airbus A319 was obtained and soon after the two Airbus A320s were replaced, completing the fleet renewal.

In 2011, Tame changed its legal status to a state-owned company, no longer under the administration of the [[Ecuadorian Air Force]].

In 2013, TAME incorporated its first and only [[Airbus A330-200]], formerly of Dubai’s [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates]], to cover flights to [[New York City]]. In addition, 3 [[Quest Kodiak]]s were incorporated for its subsidiary ''TAME Amazonía'' for the routes in the country's Amazon. 

On May 19, 2020, the Ecuadorean government decided to liquidate the airline and ceased all operations. The airline, which had been struggling for several years, claimed that its difficulties were compounded by the [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation|impact]] of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
