Their fleet contained Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirantes, although they also operated the Dash 7 in fierce competition with Aeroperlas, a Panamanian regional airline.
Accidents and incidents
In 1994, Alas Chiricanas Flight 00901 exploded while en route from Colón to Panama City. All 18 passengers and 3 crew were killed. The explosion was caused by a bomb.
