Peru Drops Transfer Fee for Domestic Connections at Jorge Chávez as International Charge Takes Effect

Negotiations with the airport concessionaire produced the exemption within a contract that still authorizes charging international transfers.

Overview

  • The Transport Ministry said passengers connecting only on domestic itineraries at Jorge Chávez will not be charged the TUUA transfer fee.
  • The TUUA for international transfers took effect on December 7 for travelers arriving from abroad who remain inside the terminal and continue to another country.
  • La República reports the international transfer tariff at US$11.86 per passenger through 2030, while the US$7.46 domestic transfer fee approved by Ositran will not be collected.
  • Lima Airport Partners has enabled online platforms, mobile agents, and in-person modules to process payments from eligible international transfer passengers.
  • ASPEC’s president calls the charge contractual and urges renegotiation or official scrutiny, noting airlines warn the fee could erode Lima’s competitiveness as a hub.
