TACA Flight 1113 was an international flight operated by Air Transports of Creeperopolis and Atlántida (TACA), now known as Creeperian Airlines, traveling from Cámarillo, Creeperopolis, to Fort Handel, New Gandor. On 14 March 1983, the flight was bombed by the Norental-Esclaveta-Pescante-Orisla-Colón Front (Frente NEPOC) as a part of its terrorist bombing campaign during the San Carlos Islands Crisis. The flight was accidentally bombed, as the bag the bomb was hidden in was loaded on Flight 1113 by mistake. The intended target was TACA Flight 711 from Cámarillo to San Romero.

In the bombing, 265 people were killed. Of those killed, 165 were citizens of New Gandor. The bombing directly lead to New Gandor's involvement in the San Carlos Islands Crisis in support of the Creeperian government against Frente NEPOC and the other militant groups fighting for separation.
