The first flight was made by one of the two Airbus A320neo that the airline had based in Lima for the start of operations, named Captain FAP José A. Quiñones G, a Peruvian national hero for his combat actions during the 1941 border conflict with Ecuador.
By early August, the airline will be operating the following routes:
- Lima – Cusco
- Lima – Iquitos

- Lima – Arequipa
- Lima – Juliaca
- Lima – Piura
- Lima – Tarapoto
- Lima – Trujillo
- Lima – Tarapoto
- Arequipa – Cusco

- Piura – Arequipa
There are 13 initial domestic routes, of which 4 are interregional routes, which will increase air connectivity and boost tourism with flights that do not pass through Lima.
During the inaugural event, representatives of the airline indicated the objective of closing 2022 with a fleet of 5 aircraft, and by 2023 at least nine aircraft are projected, subject to the evolution of demand and business opportunities.
