À propos Jorge Chávez International Airport

L'aéroport international Jorge Chávez est le principal aéroport desservant Lima, la capitale du Pérou, et le troisième aéroport le plus fréquenté d'Amérique du Sud. Situé à Callao, à environ 11 kilomètres à l'ouest du centre de Lima, l'aéroport porte le nom du pionnier de l'aviation péruvien Jorge Chávez. LIM accueille plus de 24 millions de passagers par an et est la base principale de LATAM Airlines Perú, avec des services importants de Sky Airline Perú et Viva Air. L'aéroport dispose actuellement d'un terminal unique et exploite une seule piste, ce qui crée des contraintes de capacité aux heures de pointe. Un projet d'expansion majeur est en cours, comprenant un nouveau terminal et une deuxième piste qui augmenteront considérablement la capacité. Le transport terrestre se fait principalement par taxi et bus. LIM sert de point de correspondance pour les voyages à travers la côte ouest de l'Amérique du Sud et est la porte d'entrée du Machu Picchu et des Andes péruviennes, deux destinations touristiques de renommée mondiale. La position de Lima en tant que centre gastronomique, abritant plusieurs des meilleurs restaurants du monde, et l'héritage culturel du Pérou contribuent à la demande touristique croissante.
