Welcome to TDM Amazon
Flying in the Amazon since 4-5-98
TDM Cessna Caravan taking off from Eduardo Gomes Int'l Airport in
Manaus, Brazil
TDM, a branch of TradeWind
Caribbean Airlines, has many dedicated pilots who love challenges:
dirt runways, airports without ILS, huge areas without navaids,
and the unpredictable tropical weather of the region. We are used
to these challenges. :-) Now, we have the option to fly our
Shorts 330s, Cessna Caravans and Pilatus PC-12s in the Rain
Forest and the Northern Region of Brazil.
Sights from Amazonas: Ianomami Indian, Amazon Forrest and the
Negro River.
Because of the Rain Forest, the Northern Region of
Brazil is one of the least-populated places in the world.
Extensive areas of the forest (see the picture above) and the
huge distances make colonization of the region almost impossible.
The area has dozens of Indians Reserves and National Parks, many
of them larger than some European countries. Because of its
unique features, the use of the airplanes and float planes (see
below) to carry food, medicine and goods to isolated places is a must.
Carajás Airport. Don't expect the same services of this airport
for the most of the TDM Amazon Sector routes:-) The airports were
carefully designed to approximate their real-world conterparts,
so all the trees that you will see in the airports are really
there in the real world!
Routes
There is currently 40 flights to 35 cities in 7
States. With your feedback, as the time permits I will add more
routes for TDM Amazon. All of the lines begins from our main
airports in the morning and finish in a major airport in the
afternoon. because it is not safe to fly in the Amazon during at
night. You will make several stops along the route in small
aerodromes only TDM reaches with its brave pilots:-)
Criticisms, suggestions or comments are welcome!
