SKY Airline Perú, also known as SꓘY or SKY Peru, is an airline based in Lima, Peru and is the second largest airline in the Peruvian market.[1] It is a subsidiary of Sky Airline, which is based in Chile. It operates scheduled domestic and international services. Its main hub is Jorge Chávez International Airport.
History
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 February 2022, the airline flies to 12 destinations in Peru, and has flights to 3 countries from its Lima hub. This year, the airline will increase and start new domestic destinations such as Cajamarca, Chiclayo, Tacna and Talara.
