Lima Airport Partners pushes for e‑gate approval as airport upgrades accelerate
Lima Airport Partners is seeking authorization from the Peruvian immigration authority to deploy e‑gates for foreign travelers at Jorge Chávez International Airport, where the technology has already been installed and tested but a decision is still pending.1
The ACI World report projects nearly $4 trillion in airport investments worldwide by 2045, including $178 billion in Latin America, while passenger growth is expected to outpace infrastructure expansion due to lengthy permitting processes; LAP plans to use artificial intelligence to optimise passenger flows and centralise security‑system imaging, promote inter‑regional routes and permit foreign carriers to operate domestic services, and the new government has allocated funds to complete a bridge and a viaduct linking the airport with nearby districts.1
