Company history

Americana de Aviación was founded in 1990 and began operations in 1991 using a Boeing 727-077 with regional routes within Peru. Founders were: Victor D. Ortiz de Villate (President - General Manager), Carlos Martinez de la Torre (Legal Advisor). In 1991 they sold majority stock participation to Luis Chan Lay ("Don Lucho") who name his nephew Leandro Chiok Chang (new Executive President) as his front man. In 1994 the Peruvian government grounded all the B727-100s older than 20 years and Americana saw its aircraft grounded. Soon the 727s were replaced with Boeing 737-200s but bad administration by the new ownwers and the financial picture in South America was not good and by 1997 Americana was forced to cease operations. ^[1]
