Alas Chiricanas S.A. (Spanish: Chiriquí Wings) was a commuter airline based in Panama, which was operational from 1980 to 1995.[1]

Fleet

Their fleet contained Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirantes, although they also operated the De Havilland Canada Dash 7 in fierce competition with regional Aeroperlas.

Accidents and incidents

On July 19, 1994, Alas Chiricanas Flight 00901 crashed on a wooded hillside following an in-flight explosion while en route from Colón to Panama City, killing all 18 passengers and 3 crew. The explosion was caused by a bomb.[2]

After the accident, the company went out of business, and Aeroperlas absorbed part of its fleet.
