In December 1947 Pluna started its first flight to Brazil linking Montevideo, Punta del Este and Porto Alegre. The first jet was a Boeing 737-200, in 1960.
In 1981 Pluna launched its first flight to Europe, on Montevideo – Madrid route, operated by Boeing 707. Pluna undergone a major transformation in June 1995, when it was acquired by VARIG.

Then Pluna also changed its Boeing 767-200ER for a Boeing 767-300ER, in 2002, and acquired a Boeing 757-200 and ATR-42- 300 for charter flights.
