Lan Peru is planning to launch new domestic routes in the second half of 2011 and has special interest in Andean cities like Huaraz (Ancash) and Jauja (Junin), according to its general manager Jorge Vílches.
There are five airlines operating in the domestic market (Lan Peru, Taca, LC Busre, Star Peru and Peruvian Airlines) but only one of them flies from Lima to Andahuaylas (Apurimac), Huaraz, Talara (Piura) and Huancayo (Junin).
"I think there is great potential in the regions, that’s why we are always looking to develop new projects," Vilches said.
He added that adequate airport infrastructure and security for investors and consumers are basic requirements to open up a new route.
"In recent years, most airports have been improved thanks to a concession program implemented by the government, but there are still other [airports] to be remodelled," he said.
