Accidents
On September 10, 1992, Expresso Aéreo Flight 015, a Fokker F27-500 (reg. OB-1443), crashed in the airstrip of the remote Amazon jungle town of Bellavista. Due to a pilot error on approximation, possibly compounded by fatigue and the co-pilot's lack of experience, the plane hit the ground shortly before the runway threshold (practically crash-landing) and broke up in several parts, killing the pilot in the ensuing fire. The six remaining crew members and the 36 passengers managed to evacuate and survived, although some were injured.
On February 25, 1994, Expresso Aéreo Flight 028, a Yakovlev Yak-40 struck Mount Carpish six minutes after leaving Tingo María for Lima, killing all 26 passengers and five crew members. The recently-delivered aircraft was reportedly piloted by two Russians and one Peruvian; Martín Perochena, son of the airline's CEO.
