According to the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC), between January and December 2015 Sete had 0.1% of the domestic market share in terms of passengers per kilometer flown.[1]
SETE traces its origins to 1976, when Rolim Adolfo Amaro, also founder of TAM Airlines, created an airline specialized in general aviation and maintenance. The airline was sold to Luis Roberto Villela in 1980, who bought its first aircraft, a Mitsubishi.
In 1995 SETE built a hangar at Goiânia Airport and in 1998 it started to offer air-medical services. In 1999 SETE received authorization to operate charter flights and in 2006 it became a regular carrier. Its fleet then consisted of 3 Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. A fourth Cessna arrived in 2000 and a fifth in 2002.[2]
In spite of being the main regional airline of both Central and North-Central regions of Brazil, all regular services were indefinitely suspended on January 1, 2016. During the suspension all services of the airline will be restructured including routes and aircraft. Air taxi services are not affected.[3][4]
