📋 Tender Overview
Exercises seek to guarantee compliance with national and international security standards.As part of the start -up process of the new air terminal, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), in coordination with Lima Airport Partners (LAP) and the aeronautical community, supervised a day of operational exercises with 15 simulated flights to national and international destinations at the New Jorge Chavez International Airport.
The activity was inspected by specialists from the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC) of the MTC and focused on evaluating the performance of the Equipment Management System (HBS/BHS). The objective was to verify that the inspection and transfer processes of warehouse luggage, including oversized or with damaged labels, develop efficiently and strictly guaranteeing compliance with national and international aeronautical safety standards.
12 airlines participated in the test, including Latam, Sky, Plus Ultra, Cup, Boa, Atsa, American and Aeromexico. About 2000 luggage were mobilized by the corresponding inspection levels, with the purpose of stressing the HBS/BHS system and simulating an operational scenario as realistic as possible.
As previously reported, until May 15, operational tests will be intensified in the luggage system and in aircraft parking stalls, in order to strengthen staff preparation and ensure an orderly and safe transition.
Also, from May 15 a white march will be developed with a small number of operations, which will continue to adjust procedures before the official start.
On June 1, between 00:00 and 12:00, the logistics and operational transition of the current terminal (Faucett) will be held to the new terminal (Morales Duarez). During that period, airport services will be temporarily suspended to guarantee a safe migration. From noon, the new terminal will begin operations in an integral way.
The MTC will continue to work jointly with LAP and the entire aeronautical community to guarantee a successful implementation of the New Jorge Chavez International Airport, which will consolidate Peru as a key hub key to tourism and air trade.
