TANS Peru

Talk about dodgy. I'm not sure these guys are still in business, but last I heard this Peruvian outfit operates a handful of ex-Egypt air 737s and some Fokkers that look like they've been through World War III. They were rumored to be expanding out of the Peruvian domestic market into Chile and possible Miami. Classic bare bones third world outfit. Definitely thrilling when the plane starts vibrating uncontrollably over the Andes, but don't take your girlfriend for a ride.

I flew Tans Peru in November/03 from Lima to Cuzco & return. Both flights operated on time, clean and reasonably new looking aircraft, orderly & efficient boarding process, pleasant & cheerful ticket counter and check-in agent, ditto for on-board service.

TANS still operates in Peruvian territory only. Operates B737-200 (not from Egypt, they were give back two year ago and no operates F-28). It is better in service and operates on time always.
