APSA was the National Airline of Perú and had routes to Los Angles, Miami, Mexico City, Acapulco, San Salvador, Managua, Tegucigalpa, Panama, Caracas, Barranquilla, Bogota, Guayaquil, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Asuncion, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo. To operate those routes it used the Douglas DC-6 and later the Convair 990.

Towards the end of the 1960s routes to London, Madrid and Paris were begun using Douglas DC-8-52 in conjunction with Iberia Airlines of Spain, which was a major stockholder in APSA.

Because if was a money losing operation, the Peruvian Goverment shut down operations in 1971.
