Why should this airline be added?
Founded in 1973 and flying across Latin America and to the USA, mainly Miami, this airline was the flag carrier of Peru until it collapsed in 1999 due to massive debts 3 times the airlines value. The airline would be a nice addition, in its entirety would be fantastic but even just for now with its 757-200 as a special livery, bringing an iconic colour scheme back to life for events at the 6 playable airports in the Americas, or with the incoming 737-200 which the liveries looked dapper in this airline, even if only operated for a short period.

The airline also founded “Andes Alliance” with AVENSA at some point in late 1998 or Jan 1999, not much out there on English tinterweb about it, though ofc AeroPeru collapsed 2 months later and AVENSA survived another 4 years only so the alliance was very short lived.

I would be happy if my country’s airline, Peru, were included in World of Airports. I really hope that along with the 737, they add the 737-300 from Star Perú or Peruvian Airlines. There’s also the national airline, Aeroperu, you forgot. The fact that we had two flag carriers was also a sign of Faucett.
