Servicios Aéreos de los Andes

Servicios Aéreos de los Andes is a Peruvian aviation company that operates both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. The airline was established in 2005 as a charter operator and developed a business centered on air transportation for personnel working in Peru's mining and oil-and-gas industries. This specialization reflects the logistical requirements of remote industrial sites, where aviation can provide access that is difficult or impractical by road. The company has therefore operated across more than one aviation role rather than presenting itself solely as a conventional scheduled passenger airline. The business expanded beyond charter operations in 2014, when it began commercial passenger service on routes linking Lima with Jauja and Cusco. The move gave the company a scheduled-service presence while retaining its established charter and industrial-transport activities. The available reference material does not specify the duration, scale, frequency, or current status of those scheduled routes, nor does it identify a separate subsidiary or parent group. Accordingly, the airline is best described as a Peruvian carrier with a mixed operating model that includes passenger service, corporate or industrial charter flying, and rotary-wing operations. Helicopter capability has been an important part of the company's profile. The fleet information available for September 2020 lists Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma and AS350 Écureuil helicopters, as well as Bell 412, Bell 205, and Bell 212 aircraft among helicopters operated by the airline. These types are associated with utility, personnel-transport, and other operational roles, although the available material does not assign a specific aircraft type to a particular contract or route. The fixed-wing fleet is not itemized in the supplied reference material. Servicios Aéreos de los Andes also faced a serious security incident in 2012, when two of its helicopters were destroyed in an attack attributed to Sendero Luminoso at the Camisea Gas Project in Peru. The incident illustrates the security risks involved in supporting industrial operations in remote areas, but the available sources do not provide further information about casualties, operational disruption, insurance consequences, or the company's subsequent response. Publicly available information in the supplied sources is limited. It does not establish the airline's current fleet size, ownership, financial performance, executive leadership, route network, or confirmed operational status. The company website is provided as an official web address, but no additional current corporate details are treated as verified here. Its documented identity is therefore that of a Peruvian airline founded as a charter carrier, with a concentration in industrial aviation and a later expansion into scheduled passenger flying.

Servicios Aéreos de los Andes was founded in Peru in 2005 as a charter airline. Its initial business was oriented toward specialized transportation rather than a broad scheduled network. The company focused on moving personnel associated with mining and oil-and-gas operations, sectors that frequently require aviation access to remote or infrastructure-constrained locations. It operated both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, allowing it to serve a wider range of transport requirements than an airline limited to one aircraft category. The company's industrial role exposed it to the security conditions surrounding some remote Peruvian projects. In 2012, two of its helicopters were destroyed in an attack by Sendero Luminoso at the Camisea Gas Project. The available reference material records the destruction of the aircraft but does not establish the wider effect on the company, its contracts, or its operations. The event remains the principal documented security incident associated with the airline. In 2014, Servicios Aéreos de los Andes expanded into scheduled commercial passenger flying. It introduced services connecting Lima with Jauja and Cusco. This represented a change from an exclusively charter-oriented model to a mixed model combining scheduled passenger operations with its existing industrial and charter work. The reference material does not provide route frequencies, aircraft assignments, passenger volumes, or information on how long those services continued. The fleet information available for September 2020 identifies several helicopter types operated by the airline. These include two Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma helicopters, three Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil helicopters, and Bell 412, Bell 205, and Bell 212 helicopters. The list indicates a substantial rotorcraft capability suited to utility and personnel-transport missions. The supplied material does not provide a complete fixed-wing fleet list, nor does it confirm whether every listed helicopter remained in service after September 2020. The company's present status, ownership, executive leadership, headquarters, financial performance, and current route network are not established by the supplied sources. The official website is listed as http://www.andesaircorp.com/, but no additional current facts are asserted without verification. On the documented record, Servicios Aéreos de los Andes is a Peruvian airline whose historical development runs from charter and industrial aviation into scheduled passenger service, while retaining a notable helicopter-operating capability.
