The Tame airline, once a prominent carrier in Ecuador, made its last journey not through the skies but by land, as one of its aircraft was transported in twelve pieces along the Panamericana Norte to its new home at Antanka Lodge in the community of Abatag, Imbabura province. This innovative project aims to enhance local tourism by repurposing the aircraft into a unique lodging experience for visitors.

Situated in the scenic surroundings of San Pablo del Lago, the Antanka Lodge seeks to attract tourists looking for quirky and memorable accommodations that reflect the local heritage and history of aviation in Ecuador. The integration of the Tame plane into the hotel not only preserves a piece of the nation's aviation history but also adds an unusual charm to the lodge, distinguishing it from traditional lodging options in the area.

This venture comes at a time when unique tourism experiences are increasingly sought after, and the project exemplifies how local communities can creatively utilize historical artifacts to promote economic development through tourism. The transformative journey of the Tame plane symbolizes a new chapter for the airline's legacy while contributing to the revitalization of local tourism in Imbabura.
