Peruvian Air Line S.A. was a Peruvian airline based in Lima, serving as the flag carrier from 2009 to 2019. 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.
History Peruvian Airlines was founded in November 2007, receiving its air operator's certificate from Peru's aviation authority on August 7, 2008. 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.
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.
