SKY launches new route connecting Lima to Montevideo and Florianópolis
As part of its expansion strategy in South America, SKY announced the launch of its new Lima-Montevideo-Florianópolis route, reaffirming its commitment to connect Peru with other countries in the region.
SKY will start flying between Lima, Montevideo and Florianópolis on January 2, 2024. Initially it will have 3 weekly frequencies, with which it plans to transport more than 6,000 passengers per month between all the routes connecting these three cities.
“We are proud to launch our 7th and 8th international destinations from Lima, as part of our commitment to South American connectivity. We are betting on routes with high demand and great potential in the Peruvian market. Montevideo is a metropolis with great tourism and business potential, and Florianopolis is one of the most popular vacation paradises. From SKY, we believe that our low cost model will be key to motivate more Peruvians to travel to both cities and, in the same way, to welcome more Uruguayan and Brazilian tourists to our country,” says José Raúl Vargas, general manager of SKY in Peru.

Regional Presence
Within the framework of its international growth strategy, Vargas highlights that the Brazilian market is key for the low cost airline and that as from January it will add five destinations in that country, considering both those reached from Lima and Santiago. He also added “the upcoming flights between Lima and Florianópolis (via Montevideo) will help SKY to consolidate its position as the main foreign airline in Santa Catarina, the state where Florianópolis is located”.
In parallel, this Thursday SKY will also add the Santiago Montevideo-Salvador de Bahia route, which shows the airline’s commitment to continue strengthening its presence in the region and become the preferred low cost carrier in Latin America.
