Aerolíneas Peruanas S.A. (also known as APSA or the English translation Peruvian Airlines)[1] was an airline from Peru, serving as flag carrier of the country from 1956 to 1971.[2] Headquartered in Lima, it operated a network of scheduled passenger flights to major places in Latin America, as well as the United States, out of its hub at Jorge Chávez International Airport.[3]
History
APSA was founded by C. W. Shelton on September 16, 1956,[4] with 77 percent of the company's shares spread amongst private Peruvian investors.[5] Flight operations were launched on September 17, 1957, on the Lima to Santiago and Miami routes.[5] Originally not a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA was only joined in 1966), APSA could significantly undercut the usual airline fares for flights between South America and the USA.[6] To strengthen its market position, APSA went into a partnership with Transportes Aéreos Nacionales and Compañía Ecuatoriana de Aviación.[6][7]
The Douglas DC-6 being the aircraft most commonly used with the airline in the early 1960s,[6][8] Aerolíneas Peruanas joined the jet age on December 1, 1963 with the introduction of the Convair 990 Coronado.[9] During those years, the network was greatly expanded,[3] which culminated in the launch of transatlantic flights using the Douglas DC-8 by the end of the decade.[10][4]
In the early 1970s, APSA found itself in a worsening financial situation. Plans for a take-over by the Peruvian government and Spanish national airline Iberia failed, so the company was forced to cease all flight operations on May 2, 1971.[11]
Destinations
APSA offered scheduled passenger flights to the following destinations:[7][8][12][1][3]

Accidents and incidents
