Spanish travel group Marsans, which owns Aerolineas
Argentinas, plans to create a new unit in Peru and begin flights there
within five months.

An Aerolineas spokesman said they expected the debut of
the new Peruvian company, called Aerolineas del Peru, to take no longer
than five months because of the Peruvian government’s warm welcome.

As we previously reported, one of the key competitors
in Peru, Chilean airline LAN, has become unpopular with the Peruvian
government due to a scandal over an in-flight video depicting images of
Lima considered offensive.
