Overview
- LATAM will end Lima–Havana on March 11, 2026 after roughly 23 months and about 110,000 passengers, citing weak route economics worsened by the planned transfer TUUA, with about 70% of travelers connecting.
- SKY will wind down Lima–Cancún, operating normally until March 10, 2026 and then three weekly flights until its March 31 closure, pointing to the TUUA’s cost impact and reduced direct demand following Mexico’s visa requirement for Peruvians.
- Lima Airport Partners rejects claims that the transfer TUUA drives airline network decisions, calling the fee a legally recognized, contractually established mechanism overseen by Ositrán and warning that airline statements are spreading confusion.
- LAP says the international transfer charge starts October 27, 2025 with an estimated cap of up to US$12.67 per connection segment at Jorge Chávez.
- Members of Congress, including Heidy Juárez and Wilson Soto, are pushing measures to empower the MTC to negotiate or block the transfer fee, while airlines offer affected passengers refunds, earlier travel, or rebooking with other operators.
