📋 Tender Overview
This measure strengthens transparency in information on the price of air tickets and contributes to avoiding delays and congestion at airports.The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) approved Supreme Decree No. 007-2026-MTC, by which literal f) of article 232 of the Regulations of the Civil Aeronautics Law is modified, with the purpose of guaranteeing that passengers receive clear, timely and detailed information on the costs associated with air transportation, such as the Unified Airport Use Fee (TUUA), taxes, fees and other applicable charges.
The rule, published in the Official Gazette El Peruano, establishes that airlines must inform passengers, from the moment they make the reservation, of the price of the ticket, discriminating the net value of air transportation and, if applicable, the taxes, fees, charges or other authorized costs that are part of the ticket price.
Likewise, in those cases in which any of these concepts are not included in the price of the ticket, the air transportation contract must state the available payment mechanisms, so that users have the necessary information to comply with said payments in a timely manner.
This measure will strengthen transparency in the information received by users of the air transport service, in accordance with international standards and with the provisions of the Andean Community related to passenger rights.
Likewise, it will help avoid flight delays and unnecessary congestion at airports, which can be generated when passengers have to make additional payments directly at the air terminals.
The regulatory modification specifies that the provisions do not imply the obligation for airlines to incorporate these concepts into the price of the ticket, but rather to ensure that passengers have access to the corresponding information about these charges and the available payment methods before contracting the service.
