It operates scheduled domestic and international services. Its main hub is Jorge Chávez International Airport.

History

[edit]

The airline was established in April 2019 as part of a planned expansion of SKY Airline in Latin America.[2] SKY Peru operations were more successful than originally anticipated, which led to the addition of more aircraft than originally projected.[3]

As of April 2023, the airline flies to 14 destinations in Peru, and has flights to five countries from its Lima hub. The airline was set to begin flights to Sao Paulo, Brazil in July 2023.
