TACA Peru Uses E190s for Domestic Expansion

TACA Peru, the Lima-based division of Avianca-TACA, will this week launch flights on three domestic routes after taking delivery of its first Embraer E190. The airline will use the type, already in service with other areas of the TACA business, to launch twice daily services to Tarapoto and daily flights to Trujillo from February 15. A daily link to Juliaca will also be introduced at the same time, but operates using larger Airbus A320 Family models. All three routes are currently served by LAN Peru, with Star Peru also operating to Tarapoto and Trujillo using its BAe 146s.
