Incidents
- On October 25, 1988, a Fokker F28-1000 Aeroperú (OB-R-1020) took off from Juliaca Airport, but hardly gained any altitude. When both the landing gear and the buoyancy aids were then retracted and the thrust was reduced at the same time, the machine stayed a few meters above the ground in the air before it fell 1.8 kilometers behind the runway onto a road that was surrounded by ditches on both sides . Then the machine slid 220 meters further into a river bed. There were 65 passengers and 4 crew members on board the machine. 12 people, including 11 passengers, were killed (see also Aeroperú flight 772 ) .
