Peru Aviation: Chile’s Sky Airline has ambitions for domestic Peru

Peru is becoming one of the most dynamic aviation markets in Latin America. The country's first fully fledged LCC, Viva Air Peru, debuted in 2017 and the country's second largest operator, Peruvian Airlines, is now working to expand through the creation of a new subsidiary, Aeroperu International.

Now Chile's Sky Airline has declared its intention to enter the Peruvian domestic market. Sky has long been Chile's second largest airline, and has made the transition to the LCC model during the past couple of years.

Peru remains ripe for stimulation, with just 0.7 trips per capita in 2017. And Sky's ambitions show there is no shortage of airlines aspiring to capitalise on the opportunities in the country. The next few years should prove interesting as the number of airlines working to exploit opportunities in Peru continues to grow.
