The new terminal is scheduled to begin operations on June 01, as announced by the Ministry of Transport and Communications and Lima Airport.
Starting May 15, we will begin a trial phase. The airlines that will operate during this trial phase are being determined, but only airlines with low flight frequency will be considered, which represents 1% of the total flights that operate at the current terminal.
On June 1, at 12:00 p.m., 100% of domestic and international flight operations will be transferred to the new terminal. Therefore, the terminal located on Elmer Faucett Avenue will cease operations.
At the start of operations, entry and exit to the new Jorge Chávez International Airport will be exclusively via Avenida Morales Duárez. This entrance will be through the temporary modular bridges installed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) until permanent access, the Santa Rosa Bridge, is built.
No, the current address remains as Av. Morales Duárez s/n. Any future changes to the official address will be communicated through our official channels.
Access to the new terminal is by vehicle only via temporary bridges, implemented by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. It is important to note that there is a distance of approximately 2 km between the temporary bridges and the facade of the new terminal; therefore, there will be no pedestrian access.
Yes, the drop-off lane is located 280 meters from the terminal, approximately a 3-minute walk. This lane is connected to the second floor of the terminal via a boulevard. The AeroDirecto public transport service, managed by ATU, also has a designated stop in this area. Wheelchairs and ramps will be available for people with reduced mobility who enter the new terminal via the freeway for more comfortable and safe access.
According to the Urban Transport Authority (ATU), the fare will vary between approximately S/1.20 and S/5.00, depending on the distance.
Buses will run every 15 minutes.
Everyone, including companions, can enter the third floor. However, only passengers may proceed through the Boarding Pass Control Zone as passing this checkpoint grants access to the restricted area.
Passengers must arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before international flights and 2 hours before domestic flights. Always take traffic conditions into account and stay informed through official channels for any updates.
A remote boarding gate connects passengers to the aircraft via a bus instead of a jet bridge. If your flight departs from a remote gate, go to the first floor using the stairs or elevator. All remote gates will be located on the first floor.
The connecting passenger area is located on the second floor in the Transfer Zone. In this spacious connection area, you will find airline counters for both domestic and international flights, as well as self-service kiosks. Additionally, airport guides will be available to assist passengers and support operations.

Immigration procedures will take place on both the first floor (Arrivals) and the third floor (Departures). This process is conducted in the restricted area, accessible only to passengers.
To access the Departures Immigration Zone, passengers must enter through the third floor. Before reaching immigration, they will go through check-in, the boarding pass control area, and security screening lanes before proceeding to immigration for departures.
On the first floor, passengers will find the Arrivals Immigration Zone, which facilitates entry into the country. This is where international flights arrive, and the baggage claim area is also located, featuring six automated carousels.
The Departures Zone will have 21 physical immigration inspection stations and 9 e-gates. In the Arrivals Zone, there will be 33 immigration inspection stations and 10 e-gates. In general, we will have more inspection stations and operational e-gates managed by the Immigration Service.
Additionally, the Immigration Service provides passengers with access to pre-registration kiosks, allowing them to submit their information in advance and receive a QR code to expedite the immigration process.
No, this process can also be completed online through the Immigration Pre-Registration Platform. For more information, visit the official Immigration website: www.gob.pe/migraciones. On the right side of the screen, click “Haz tu pre-registro” (Complete Your Pre-Registration), and you’re all set!
It may be used by adults who meet the following criteria: Peruvian citizens with a valid electronic passport or foreign residents in Peru with a Foreigner’s Card and a valid electronic passport.
