History
AerCaribe began operations in 2006 with a fleet of Antonov turboprop aircraft, with domestic services in Colombia. AerCaribe operates its own 3,000sqm hangar at El Dorado, with departure and VIP lounges, conference rooms, and a restaurant. The carrier is certified by Antonov to offer maintenance and restoration works on Antonov aircraft in Colombia and Latin America, as well to act as a representative of Antonov in the sale and purchase of Antonov aircraft.[1]
In 2011, AerCaribe launched its first subsidiary, AerCaribe S.A.C. Peru, operating as AerCaribe Peru. It is a Peruvian-based carrier which operates scheduled and charter cargo services from its base in Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport within Peru.[2][3]
In 2015, AerCaribe received its first of three converted B737-300P2Fs (passenger to freighter) from PEMCO World Air Services, in Tampa, Florida, US.[4] The aircraft offers 11 pallet positions, a full-featured cargo loading system with retractable sill plate and over-rideable side restraints, all engineered to deliver good reliability and a 48,000lbs (22 tonnes) maximum payload.[5]
In 2019, it was announced that AerCaribe was looking into commencing operations from its base in Colombia, and its sub-base in Peru under its subsidiary AerCaribe Peru, to the United States.[6]
On 14th October 2020, one of the An-32s crashed while landing in Iquitos. The aircraft was destroyed, but the crew survived.[7]
