In the new air terminal to verify the correct development of this key stage prior to the start of integral operations.The Minister of Transport and Communications, Cesar Sandoval Pozo, made this morning an unexpected visit at the facilities of the New Jorge Chavez International Airport where he met with representatives of Lima Airport Partners (LAP), a air terminal concessionaire, with the aim of ensuring that the integral start of operations, scheduled for Sunday, June 1, is carried out safely, orderly and efficiently.
I am at the nerve point of the New Airport, the immigration control is already done normally, the module attention times are even lower than those of the current airport, said Sandoval Pozo.
The head of the MTC, accompanied by a technical team in the sector, evaluated the advances of the white march, started on May 15. Minister Sandoval stressed that this stage is key to strengthening the training of operational personnel, familiarizing users with the new airport flows and identifying opportunities for improvement, such as internal signage, lighting on internal access roads, formal taxis control and safety in the vicinity of the airport.
To date, 50 international flights (25 arrival and 25 departure) have been successfully operated, transporting more than 3000 passengers to and from destinations such as Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Punta Cana and Santo Domingo.
We are coordinating with the ATU to reinforce the dissemination of the routes of the Aerodirect Public Transportation Service, as well as other options to reach the new terminal, either in private vehicles or formal taxis. Our goal is that all passengers, companions and workers clearly know how to get to the new Jorge Chavez before the start of operations, said the minister.
During the supervision visit, the development of the white march was verified and compliance with all established security protocols was verified. The route covered the second and third levels of the modern passenger terminal, where the operation of a latest technology security center was highlighted, which works 24 hours a day. This infrastructure has a video surveillance system composed of more than 3500 cameras, which reinforces the protection of facilities and users.
It should be noted that on June 1, between 00:00 and 12:00, the final transition of operations from the old to the new terminal will be carried out. During this period, airport services will be temporarily suspended, as part of a standard procedure adopted in similar transitions internationally.
The MTC, in coordination with LAP and other entities in the sector, reaffirms its commitment to guarantee a successful implementation of the New Jorge Chavez International Airport, an emblematic work that will mark a milestone in air connectivity and the development of the country.
