Overview
- The regulator set the transfer TUUA at US$10.05 for international connections and US$6.32 for domestic connections, with both rates in force through December 31, 2030.
- Lima Airport Partners will begin charging the international transfer fee on December 7, while collection for domestic transfers remains suspended pending negotiations with the Transport Ministry.
- Because airlines did not add the fee to tickets, LAP will collect via an online portal, mobile POS agents and dedicated airport modules, with amounts including VAT of US$11.86 (international) and US$7.46 (domestic).
- The airlines’ association AETAI said it will challenge the tariffs in court and questioned the lack of a published formal resolution and the verification of LAP’s reported investments.
- IATA and carriers warn the charge could shift connections to Bogotá or Panama City and note some route cancellations, as a runway maintenance extension to December 20 heightens concerns about passenger disruption.
