to fly on 34 national routes

 As the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) granted its subsidiary, Sky Peru, the commercial aviation operation permit of 34 national routes in Peru.

According to its plans, the company expects to start operations before June 2019, the first destinations from Lima would be: Cusco, Arequipa, Piura, Trujillo, Iquitos and Tarapoto.
