The president of the CORPAC Board of Directors, Tabata Vivanco del Castillo, and the CEO of LATAM Airlines Peru, Manuel Van Oordt, arrived on the flight, who were received by the provincial mayors of Jaen, Jose Tapia Diaz, and San Ignacio, Reguberto Garcia, as well as by the district mayor of Bellavista, Jhony Rojas. The president of the Jaen Chamber of Commerce, Berta Padilla, and officials from various public entities, as well as associations and citizen groups, also attended.
Vivanco highlighted that the restart of the service marks economic takeoff for Jaen. We are going to take care of this airport so that flights always arrive to this city. We want Jaen to consolidate itself as a regional hub, promoting the integration and development of northeastern Peru, he said.
LATAM resumes its Lima-Jaen-Lima flights with three weekly frequencies during the first year, with the projection of having a daily flight starting in 2026. The return of commercial flights will strengthen competitiveness and regional tourism, with an estimated impact of 3.2% growth in departmental GDP and 2% in local employment, marking a new economic boost for Cajamarca and the entire north of the country.
The Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (CORPAC) carried out maintenance work, sealing cracks and painting the runway, with an investment of S/ 3.5 billion, which allowed the terminal to recover its full operational capacity.
The reestablishment of air service in Jaen reduces the travel time between Lima and Jaen from 19 hours to only 1 hour and 40 minutes, also benefiting neighboring regions such as Amazonas and San Martin.
CORPAC thus reaffirms its commitment to operational safety, service quality and the development of Perus airport infrastructure, contributing to the sustained growth of the regions and improving the quality of life of its citizens.
