Peru Weighs Last-Minute Deal as Lima Airport Transfer Fee Nears Dec. 7 Start

Transport officials met stakeholders today to seek an alternative acceptable to both sides.

Overview

  • Lima Airport Partners reaffirmed that the international transfer TUUA at Jorge Chávez will begin on December 7 at US$11.86 per passenger including IGV.
  • The Transport Ministry convened a new meeting on December 5 with airlines and LAP to try to halt or modify the charge, with no agreement announced so far.
  • LAP said it is negotiating a concession addendum to exclude domestic transfer passengers from payment, while the domestic transfer fee is scheduled for January 1, 2026 at US$7.46 including IGV.
  • Options under review reportedly include the State foregoing its share of the domestic transfer fee and compensating by raising the international embarkation TUUA.
  • Airlines warn the transfer tariff would weaken Lima’s role as a regional hub versus Bogotá and Panama City and signal possible legal challenges to Ositrán’s recent recalculation of the amounts.
