Peruvian Air Line S.A. was a Peruvian airline based in Lima, serving as the flag carrier from 2009 to 2019.[2] The airline offered primarily domestic flights out of its main base at Jorge Chávez International Airport. On October 2, 2019, the airline ceased all operations due to liquidity issues.[3]

## History

[edit]

Peruvian Airlines was founded in November 2007, receiving its air operator's certificate from Peru's aviation authority on August 7, 2008.[4] The airline commenced operations on October 29, 2009.

In July 2018, at Farnborough Airshow, Peruvian Airlines made public plans to create a subsidiary named Aero Perù that was to commence operations in 2020.[5]

The airline ceased operations on October 2, 2019, due to the Peruvian Customs Tax Court seizing the airline's bank accounts after the airline failed to complete fuel payments.[6]
