Nicaragüense de Aviación (also known as NICA) was an airline based in Nicaragua. Its main hub was the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport. The commercial airline was a full associate member of the Grupo TACA alliance of El Salvador.
History
NICA was founded in 1992 from the remains of Aeronica and commenced operations from Managua to Miami. In 1994, the Grupo TACA acquired 49% of NICA and reorganized the airline without government intervention.
In 2004, the airline ceased operations and merged with TACA Airlines. Its domestic flight duties were given to Nicaragua's domestic flag carrier, La Costeña, an airline which also joined the TACA Regional alliance. La Costeña however, differs from NICA because it still operates under its company name.
