Volaris began operations in Peru

Low-cost airline Volaris began operations in Peru on Thursday with two routes to Lima from Mexico City and Cancun, according to the company.

“We want to be part of the transformation of commercial aviation in Peru, while expanding in South America our successful business model that democratizes the skies for more people to travel well,” said Volaris executive vice president Holger Blankenstein during a press conference in Lima.
