Peruvian Air Force acquires another 737

摘要

THE FUERZA Aerea del Peru (FAP, Peruvian Air Force) is preparing to introduce an additional Boeing 737 to its Escuadron de Transporte 841, part of Grupo Aereo No 8 based at Base Aerea Jorge Chavez/ Lima-Callao International Airport. The aircraft, a 737-322, manufacturer's serial 24717 (line number 1930), will be delivered imminently, to join a single 737-528 already in service. Another 737-282(A) - the sole survivor from a pair built in 1983 and acquired by the FAP in 1998-99 - was noted in storage as of last October. Built in 1990, the newly acquired aircraft previously flew with United Airlines as N202UA and was last operated by Dream Wind Airlines in the Ukraine with registration UR-CRL. The airliner was acquired by the FAP at a cost of around US$3.75m via a US-based broker.
