Peruana is the flag carrier of Peru, operating both regional and long-haul flights out of Lima. For most of its life it has been in financial peril, going through an extensive crisis in the 90s, and shrinking down to only fifteen narrowbody aircraft around 2002-2003. In the last decade and a half, however, the carrier has finally found firmer ground to stand on, and with the aid of a rebranding in 2013 - using the Flor de Inca as its main inspiration - Peruana has grown to be a major South American player, with a fleet of almost a hundred Airbus aircraft - A320s, A321s, and A330s, with some A320neos being delivered in 2019 and early 2020. Shown here are OB-6927-P, an Airbus A320 which was the first aircraft to be delivered in the 2013 livery, and N450PN, Peruana's first A330, delivered back in 2004. Peruana's A330-300s have an interior configuration (see below) which was introduced in 2014, as part of the rebranding the airline went through at that time. It features thirty reverse-herringbone Business Class seats, 21 Premium Economy seats, and an Economy capacity of 266.

Unfortunately the carrier has been hit very hard by the coronavirus pandemic, and has been forced to permanently retire or return to lessors around 40% of its fleet. This includes the A330 shown here, which has been returned to AerCap and placed into temporary storage at Victorville. In light of the massive fleet restructuring, Peruana is also looking at significantly decreasing or deferring its orders for A320neos and A330-900s, though the financial penalties associated with such a move are predicted to be quite severe, and the airline's future is, unfortunately, uncertain.

    Although the logo is very very simple, I always like simplicity. I like the design, it's calm, elite and made with one of my favorite colors.
     
    However, the registration size in A320 and where the flag stands is irrelevant. Something wrong with me, of course, may sound different than others, but I do not like unorthadox uses like this personally.
     
    Thank you.

    This is nice. Quite simple but straight to the point. :) 

     

    Like Theaviationspotter said, the registration on the A320 is too big though. Completely forgot that Peru's registration is OB. I'm used to seeing Peruvian aircraft with the N registration. 

    Thanks for the comments, guys! I've edited the font size on the A320 and the flag position on both, plus a few other small details. Hope it's better now.
