Aeronor-Chile was a Chilean airline company. The airline was owned by another enterprise, named Copesa, which also owns the Chilean newspaper, La Tercera.[1] Aeronor’s founding coincided with various other Chilean airlines that came up during the 1970s. Aeronor Chile went bankrupt 4 years after the crash of flight 304 in La Serena. One of it’s aircraft is currently on display. One Aeronor Chile F 27 had a special livery which the tail was painted with various colours[2].
Aeronor was founded on June 30, 1976, as Transportes Aéreos Norte-Sur y Cía. Ltda. Notable shareholders included Óscar Erlandsen Le Fort, Alberto Spoerer Covarrubias, Patricia Valenzuela Silverstein, Roberto Zúñiga Peñailillo, and Eduardo Bonilla Menchaca among others.[3] Aeronor initially owned 3 F 27 aircraft. Officially beginning as Aero Norte-Sur in 1978, Aeronor was one of the earlier Chilean airlines[4] among Línea Aérea Iquiqueña, Fast Air Carrier and Aeroguayacán. Aero Norte-Sur, in February 1978, initially owned 3 F 27 aircraft and was responsible for delivering newspapers. Aeronor Chile was among the new carriers in Chile that came about in the 1970s. By 1981, Aeronor had a total of 6 F 27 aircraft, one of which would later be sold to TAC,[5] while two were destroyed in accidents in 1979[6] and 1982.[7]
In 1982, Aeronor Chile suffered its worst air disaster, after Aeronor flight 304 crashed in La Serena due to an engine malfunction, which ended up killing 46 people.[7] During this time, Óscar Erlandsen was the general management director and Germán Picó Domínguez was the president of Aeronor Chile.[8] The poor condition of its fleet, the fate of Flight 304, and competition led to Aeronor Chile ceasing to exist in 1986.[9]
