📋 Tender Overview
The new passenger terminal will be operational by March 30, 2025 at the latest. The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through the General Directorate of Transport Programs and Projects, and Lima Airport Partners (LAP) signed today a Memorandum of Understanding that ratifies the new date for the start of operations of the new Jorge Chavez International Airport.
As agreed, the modern air terminal will begin operating no later than March 30, 2025. For this reason and as part of the process, a comprehensive review will be carried out at the end of February to verify compliance with all the necessary measures to guarantee a safe and orderly transition.
Coordinated process to guarantee safety and efficiency
The Minister of Transport and Communications, Raul Perez Reyes, reported 15 days ago that the rescheduling of the start of operations was a coordinated decision with LAP and the aeronautical community, in which safety, regularity and operational efficiency were prioritized, in line with the safety standards of international civil aviation.
This additional period will allow for comprehensive operational tests to evaluate the correct functioning of the terminal, identify areas for improvement and apply corrections before opening, as well as continue training to familiarize the concessionaire, airline and specialized services staff with the new operational flow.
Currently, the technical teams of the MTC, LAP and the airport community are working together to define whether the new airport will be put into operation gradually or comprehensively.
From the Government, in coordination with all the actors involved, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to guarantee a safe, efficient and orderly transition to the new Jorge Chavez International Airport.
