📋 Tender Overview
The collection of the TUUA for international transfers will be applied from December 7 at the air terminal.The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) announced that the Unified Airport Use Fee (TUUA) for national transfers will not be charged to passengers on domestic flights connecting at the Jorge Chavez International Airport.
The transfer TUUA is a payment that covers services for connecting passengers, that is, those who get off the aircraft, use the services and do not leave the terminal, and then continue their trip to another destination.
The sector clarified that no passenger who only makes flights within Peru will pay the national transfer TUUA, whether their trip begins, ends or connects with the air terminal. This decision is the result of the coordination and agreements reached between the MTC and the airport concessionaire, Lima Airport Partners (LAP).
The MTC has determined that the non-application of the national transfer TUUA seeks to strengthen the competitiveness of national routes. In this way, the MTC reiterates its commitment to an airport policy that protects passengers and prioritizes the countrys connectivity, through decisions that favor domestic tourism, territorial integration and the competitiveness of Peru.
Application of the TUUA of international transfer
The collection of the TUUA for international transfer will only apply to passengers who arrive from abroad, make a connection and use the facilities of the Jorge Chavez International Airport, who do not leave the terminal and continue their trip to another destination outside the country. This charge will go into effect on December 7 of this year.

Its application is regulated and set autonomously by Ositran, in accordance with its functions and the current regulatory framework. The concessionaire has the power to make this charge from the start of operations of the new passenger terminal.
To collect the TUUA for international transfers, the concessionaire has implemented mechanisms that facilitate payment, such as online payment platforms, mobile agents and physical modules.
