Jetstream, with all the respect, there is no word "Freizo" in Portuguese, only Freixo, name of a tree and a Portuguese town called "Freixo de Espada à Cinta", for which Cuamba was named early in the Portuguese admin. If the source has Freizo it is wrong.

Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique, Ltd.,[5] operating as LAM – Mozambique Airlines (Portuguese: LAM – Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique), is the flag carrier of Mozambique.[6] Based in Maputo,[4] it operates scheduled services in southern Africa and Europe. The carrier is a member of the International Air Transport Association, and of the African Airlines Association since 1976.[7][8]

LAM – Mozambique Airlines is on the list of airlines banned in the EU, as of April 2011.

History

Early years

The airline was established on 26 August 1936 as DETA – Direcção de Exploração de Transportes Aéreos, as a division of the Department of Railways, Harbours and Airways of the Portuguese colonial government of Mozambique.[9] Charter flights were operated for a short period of time,[10] until a regular airmail service commenced on 22 December 1937 using a Dragonfly, a Hornet and two Rapides.[11][12][13] Shortly afterwards, these services started carrying passengers, most of them government officials.[12] Flown with Rapides, the Lourenço MarquesGerminston route was one of the company’s mainstays in the early years; it was operated on a twice-weekly basis, and connected with Imperial Airways services to London.[14][15] In April 1938 (1938-04), the eight-hour long domestic Lourenço Marques–InhambaneBeiraQuelimane coastal route was opened.[14] DETA passengers that were flown along the Mozambican coast could also connect with Imperial services at Lourenço Marques. At that time, Imperial Airways ran a service between Cape Town and Cairo that called at Lourenço Marques. Early in 1938, DETA had signed a contract with Imperial for the provision of such feeder services.[12] During the spring, another Hornet was incorporated into the fleet.[12] Also in 1938, the airline acquired three Junkers Ju-52s and two more Rapides.[13] The coastal service was extended farther north in October, reaching Port Amelia.[12] At April 1939 (1939-04), one Drangonfly, one Hornet, three Junkers Ju-52s and six Rapides were part of the fleet.[16] Most of the operations came to a halt following the outbreak of World War II.[12]

A Beira–Salisbury route was launched in February 1947 (1947-02), with scheduled services to Durban and Madagascar also starting by the end of that year.[12] By March 1952 (1952-03) the carrier was operating a 2,000-mile (3,200 km) long route network that included domestic services as well as international ones to Durban, Johannesburg and Salisbury, served with a fleet of six Doves, five Rapides, three Douglas DC-3s, two Lockheed Lodestars, a Lockheed L-14 and a Junkers Ju-52.[17] A new MoçambiqueNampulaVila Cabral run that called at three more intermediate stops was opened in 1954. The last leg of this service was temporarily suspended when Vila Cabral was excluded from the airline's list of destinations, but flights to the city were later reinstated after Vila Cabral got linked with Beira via Vila Pery, Tete and Vila Coutinho.[12] At March 1955 (1955-03), the carrier's fleet included three DC-3s, six Doves, one Dragon Fly, four Dragon Rapides, two Junkers Ju-52/3s, one Lockheed 14H, two Lodestars and two Horner Moths.[18]

The airline was one of the latest worldwide to operate the Junkers Ju-52s on scheduled services.[12] Two of these aircraft were still part of the aircraft park in April 1960 (1960-04), along with three DC-3s, four Doves, three Lodestars and four Rapides that operated a domestic network plus international services to Durban, Johannesburg and Salisbury.[19] DETA started a fleet modernisation in the early 1960s, when three Fokker F27-200s ordered in June 1961 (1961-06), making the airline the 64th customer for the type, had already been handed over to the company by August 1962 (1962-08); the first of them was named “Lourenço Marques” after the capital city of Portuguese East Africa.[20][21] DETA and Air Malawi inaugurated the Beira–Blantyre service in 1964; it was operated in a pool agreement between the two carriers. In 1965, Nova Freixo was added to the route network; in November that year, a service linking Beira with Lourenço Marques was launched. In March 1966 (1966-03), DETA and Swazi Air commenced flying the Lourenço Marques–Manzini run on a joint basis.[12] Two Boeing 737-200s were ordered in 1968 both to complement the three F27s, six DC-3s, one Dove, and one Beaver already in the fleet, and to support the company's regional expansion, that had grown up to five destinations regionally served with the addition of Blantyre and Manzini to the network.[22][23] The first of these machines entered the fleet in 1969.[12] The airline would order two more Boeing 737-200s in the forthcoming years, taking possession of the fourth one in 1973.[24]

Mozambique gained its independence from Portugal in 1975.[12] Intercontinental services started in 1976 serving the Lourenço Marques–Beira–AccraLisbon route, at first with a Boeing 707-320, and then with a Boeing 707-320C leased from Tempair International Airlines.[25][26][27] In 1979, a Douglas DC-8 was ordered.[12]

Renaming

A France-registered McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 wearing LAM Mozambique Airlines markings is seen here at Charles de Gaulle Airport in 1983.

Following allegations of corruption,[28] DETA was restructured and renamed LAM – Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique in early 1980.[11][citation needed]

At March 1985 (1985-03), the carrier had 1,927 employees. At this time, a DC-10-30 and three Boeing 737-200s (including a convertible one) worked on a route network radiating from Maputo that served Beira, Berlin-Schonefeld, Dar-es-Salaam, Harare, Johannesburg, Lisbon, Lusaka, Manzini, Maseru, Moz, Nampula, Paris, Pemba, Sofia and Quelimane.[28]

On 23 December 1998 LAM was transformed into a limited company, adopting the denomination of LAM – Mozambique Airlines by Decree no. 69/98. A limited company incorporated by statute in Mozambique was formed in late 1999.[4] The state holds 91% of the shares and employees hold the balance.[4] As of May 2011, the carrier employs a staff of 695.[4] The company Moçambique Expresso, set up in September 1995 (1995-09),[29] is 100% owned by LAM.[30][additional citation(s) needed]

EU ban

Like all airlines with an AOC issued in Mozambique, the carrier is banned from operating into the European Union. The ban dates back to April 2011 (2011-04).[6][31][32] At that time, the company claimed the Mozambican Civil Aviation Institute was responsible for the actions taken by the European Commission against all Mozambican carriers, and acknowledged itself as an airline with an excellent safety record.[33] Prior to EuroAtlantic Airways launching Boeing 767-300ER operations to Lisbon on LAM's behalf in April 2011 (2011-04),[34][35] the Lisbon–Maputo–Lisbon run was operated by TAP Portugal on codeshare agreement with LAM.[36][37][nb 1] The Maputo–Lisbon–Maputo route, the very same that was launched in November 2011 (2011-11), was announced to be discontinued as from late November that year, ahead of the constitution of a new autonomous division aimed at operating intercontinental routes.[41] As of June 2013, Lisbon was served with A340 equipment.[nb 2]
