The Ministry of Transport and Communications announced a plan of incentives aimed at attracting new airlines, expanding international routes and increasing flight frequencies in Peru, including a reduction of the International Transfer Unified Airport Fee (TUUA) at Jorge Chávez Airport and its incorporation into airfare.
The ministry is working with Lima Airport Partners, airlines and the Ministry of Economy and Finance to lower the TUUA and embed it in tickets, while the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism proposes eliminating the fee for transfer passengers, arguing it hinders Lima’s hub potential and noting that only about 3% of international movements come from Cusco and Chiclayo compared with 97% concentrated in Lima.
