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) and Carlos Martinez de la Torre (Legal Advisor). In 1991, they sold their majority stock participation to Luis Chan Lay ("Don Lucho") who named his nephew, Leandro Chiok Chang (new Executive President), as his front man. In 1994, the Peruvian Government grounded all 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 owners and a bad financial picture in South America, saw Americana forced to cease operations by 1997. [1]
