The Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) has announced the addition of Star Peru as a new member airline. Affiliation that further strengthens the network of 46 airlines responsible for more than 80 percent of passenger traffic in the region that actively collaborate to promote the safe, efficient and sustainable development of the airline industry for the benefit of the communities and countries of the region.
“We are excited to welcome the entire Star Peru team as members of our association,” stated José Ricardo Botelho, Executive Director and CEO of ALTA.
