History

In November 2016, William Shaw and José Castellanos announced the entry of a new low-cost airline in Peru, to operate in the first quarter of 2017 by the Peruvian company Viva Air Peru through the integration of the Viva group and Irelandia Aviation. Both detailed that this new company would have two Airbus A320-200s from Viva Air Colombia, at a cost of 60 soles per segment and with eight national destinations, estimating that a number of 700 thousand passengers would be transported in its first year of operation.

On January 19, 2017, the company obtained from the Ministry of Transport and Communications the operating permit for regular national air transport of passengers, cargo and mail for a period of four years. Also clarifying that they'll wait for the delivery of the air operator certificate that is estimated to arrive before April 11. Likewise, José Castellanos also explained that the prices would be made by sections, at a cost of 60 soles for 30 minutes of flight.
