Remembering Trans Brasil July 2024 Sadia was formed with the acquisition of a DC-3 in 1954, principally to transport products of  the company "Industria e Comercio Concordia" from Concordia to Sao Paulo. By 1956 the airline was officially launched with 35 employees , 3 DC-3s and 2 C-46's. By 1962, with the aid of some acquisitions Sadia served 53 Cities. The year 1967 saw the arrival of five Handley Page Heralds, and by 1970 the BAC-11-500 was added to the fleet. As the scope of the airline had been greatly expanded, the Airline became Trans Brasil in 1972. By 1983 international operations were launched with 767s, and Trans Brasil became the 2nd largest airline in Brazil. As the airline grew, so did its debts, and the fleet was grounded in 2001, never to return to service.  Following are postcards from this once great Brazilian airline Album by John Schmidt. 1 - 53 of 53 Total. 616 Visits.
