Aerolineas Starperu expands Into regional freight operations with purchase of BAe 146 QT
Fast-growing Aerolineas StarPeru is adding a BAe 146QT (Quiet Trader) freighter to its fleet of nine passenger BAe 146s and plans to introduce regional freighter operations in Peru.
The aircraft has been purchased from UK airline Titan Airways under a deal that was arranged by BAE Systems Asset Management through its remarketing agreement with the UK airline. Delivery of the aircraft has just taken place.
Based in the capital Lima, StarPeru was founded in 1997 as a charter operator providing air services into remote jungle airstrips to support oil exploration companies.
The airline commenced scheduled airline services in late 2004. It now has a fleet of two 77/78 seat BAe 146-100s, five 88-seat Series 200s and two 112-seat Series 300s that is used on a growing domestic network that embraces services from Lima to 15 destinations and now accounts for some 14 per cent of the Peruvian market.
The airline also started international services to Rio Branco in Brazil in September 2010.
