LAM – Mozambique Airlines is the national airline of Mozambique based in Maputo. It operates scheduled services in southern Africa and Europe. Also is the national flag carrier of Mozambique.
The airline was established in August 1936 as DETA – Direcção de Exploração de Transportes Aéreos, as a division of the Department of Railways, Harbours and Airways of the Portuguese colonial government of Mozambique. It started operations on 22 December 1937. Early in 1980, by Decree 8/80 of 19 November 1980, DETA was restructured and renamed LAM. In 1998 LAM was transformed into a Limited Company, adopting the denomination of LAM – Mozambique Airlines by Decree no. 69/98 of 23 December 1998.
