Star Perú: Перуанская авиакомпания и её история

Peruvian airline

Aerolíneas Star Perú S. A. is a Peruvian airline based at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru. It operates both passenger and cargo flights within Peru. The carrier mostly flies domestic routes within the Peruvian sierra and selva from its base in Lima, as well as to Puerto Ayora, in Ecuador.

The airline was established on May 1, 1997, as Servicio de Transporte Aéreo Regional by the chief executive, Valentin Kasyanov. Operations were inaugurated on May 24 1998 with a single Antonov An 32 flying cargo and charter services around South America. The name would later be changed to Star Up and later Star Perú. In late 2004, Star Perú began scheduled commercial domestic flights after having acquired a Boeing 737 200. Based on monthly growth of passenger traffic, Star Perú was the fastest growing airline in Peru in 2005. The airline was able to obtain a flight to Rio Branco in Brazil but the destination has since been closed. In May 2019, Star Perú ended the operation of its BAe 146. For the destinations on which the Boeing 737 cannot land in, 2 Dash 8 Q400s were acquired. Star Perú was set to merge with Peruvian Airlines and worked very closely with Peruvian Airlines until its close in October 2019. The merge was for both airlines to have a larger share of the Peruvian Market, which was largely controlled by foreign subsidiaries such as Sky Airline Peru and the largest, LATAM Perú. Amidst the COVID 19 pandemic, Star Perú suspended all operations Now, Star Perú continues its operations and have obtained new Boeing 737s.
