Star Peru, formerly called Star Up, is a low-cost carrier

History
The airline was established in May 1997 as Servicio de Transporte Aereo Regional by founder, and Chief Executive, Valentin Kasyanov. Operations were inaugurated with a single Antonov An-32 aircraft flying cargo and charter services around South America.
