SKY Airline Perú (H8, Lima International) has taken its first tentative steps into a new market, North America, with a planned service to Cancún, Mexico.
Starting on April 13, 2020, the service from Lima International will be operated 4x weekly and will utilise its A320-200neo fleet on the 2,057-nautical mile (3,809-kilometre) sector. There are two airlines currently flying on the city pair, with Interjet (AIJ, Toluca) (daily) and LATAM Airlines (LA, Santiago de Chile) (17x weekly) being the incumbent operators.
The airline started operations in Peru less than a year ago and concentrated initially on the domestic market. It recently obtained permission from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in Perú to connect Lima with 14 international destinations, and the Cancun route launch marks the first of those potential routes to be formally scheduled. Other overseas routes earmarked by the LCC from Lima include points in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Panama, and the US.
According to the ch-aviation PRO airlines module, SKY Airline Perú currently operates a fleet of four A320-200neo on its existing network.
