Overview
- LATAM Airlines Perú notified the MTC in a formal letter that it is evaluating canceling the launch of four international routes in early December.
- The potential cancellations involve Lima–Orlando (Dec. 1), Lima–Curazao (Dec. 2), Lima–Florianópolis (Dec. 2) and Lima–Tucumán (Dec. 14).
- The transfer component of the airport use fee at the new Jorge Chávez terminal is planned to start on Dec. 7, creating cost uncertainty for connecting passengers.
- CEO Manuel van Oordt signed the letter urging a definitive elimination of the transfer TUUA to ensure a stable, competitive environment for growth.
- Authorities describe the TUUA as a passenger charge that helps fund operation and maintenance of the new terminal, while an adenda is under negotiation without a final outcome.
