Overview
- Lima Airport Partners will begin charging a US$12.67 TUUA per international transfer at Jorge Chávez, equal to US$25.34 on a round trip.
- Because airlines did not agree to include the fee in tickets, passengers must pay via an online platform, roaming POS agents, or dedicated counters in the terminal.
- IATA and travel association Apavit have asked for a postponement and a formal dialogue, citing risks to Peru’s air connectivity and tourism recovery.
- Local reports say at least two international routes have been canceled by airlines in response to the planned charge.
- LAP and infrastructure group AFIN defend the fee as contractually established, with about 44.5% retained by LAP and the rest directed to the State via a trust, while the domestic transfer fee remains under review and lawmakers seek government talks and propose legislative changes.
