Lima Airport Partners, a subsidiary of German operator Fraport, has officially opened a new terminal at Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport. On the night of May 31 to June 1, airlines, government agencies, and partners will relocate from Lima’s old terminal. Opening was preceded by a two-week soft launch involving four airlines to ensure an efficient start of operations and operational stability.
The new terminal is three times bigger than the previous one and by the end of 2025 will be expanded further to cover 270,000sq m with a modular design, that can be increased to accommodate future growth.
The approximately US$2 billion expansion program that began in 2019 involved building both the terminal itself and infrastructure including a second runway, a new air traffic control tower and aircraft parking positions.
