About TAM Mercosur

TAM Mercosur, based in Paraguay, operates under the ICAO code LAP and the IATA code PZ; its radio callsign is "Paraguaya". On this page you can follow TAM Mercosur flights and find the airports it serves.

How to read a TAM Mercosur flight number

Every TAM Mercosur flight number starts with PZ, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix LAP, and controllers address it as "Paraguaya". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by TAM Mercosur and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.
