Incidents
- On March 19, 2000 an Aviandina Boeing 727-100 (reg. OB-1731) on a scheduled passenger flight from Arequipa to Juliaca deviated to Tacna Airport after suffering an in-flight landing gear failure that forced the crew to divert to Tacna, where the plane landed with its right main landing gear retracted after the pilots flew for over an hour on a holding pattern to burn all aircraft's fuel before the emergency landing. The aircraft sustained substantial damage, but no injuries or fatalities occurred. The plane was scrapped a year later.
