Jorge Chavez Lima (LIM) Airport

Jorge Chavez Lima LIM Airport Overview


Jorge Chávez International Airport LIM (Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez) is located in the Callao section of the capital city of Lima, and 7 miles from Lima's Historic Center, or 11 miles from Miraflores. The Airport is Peru's main airport with 8.7 million passengers a year, and is served by a host of national and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all parts of the globe. Aircraft landings are made safer during fog conditions, as the Airport recently received its ILS CAT III certification.  It also received the 'Best Airport in South America' award for years 2005, 2009 & 2010, and came in second in 2008. A second runway is to open by 2011.  Note: The Airport recommends that you arrive three hours ahead of a scheduled international flight and two hours for a domestic flight.

The four-star hotel 'Ramada Costa del Sol' (tel. 511 711 2000) is right in front of the control tower and the Arrivals exit.

Airport Use Fees ("TUUA") - In many South American airports you pay an airport fee in cash prior to your domestic or international departure, regardless what you have already paid with the airline ticket--for domestic flights - US$ 6.82; for international flights - US$ 31. Payment can be made at Payment Teller windows located on the second level of the Terminal, across from the Mini Market

At present, Jorge Chavez International has only one passenger terminal divided into a Domestic and an International Terminal, which had completed its second phase of expansion in early 2009. However, a further expansion of the present terminal, as well as construction of a second terminal, had already been approved. A shopping center is in the Grand Concourse, and a food court on the second floor. Other services include banking, currency exchange, tourist information, post office, luggage storage and wrapping, cell phone rentals, Travel agency, and VIP lounges, as well as the Sanidad Aerea clinic.

Parking:  The parking lot is across from the passenger terminal and is currently charging 3.50 NS/hr. Long-term parking is to the right of the entrance and costs 24 NS for each 24-hrs. Prices include sales tax.  Visa & Mastercard are accepted.

To get from the Airport to your destination, you can rent a car, take a taxi or a van:  Hertz, Dollar & Budget rental car desks are located in International Arrivals. Authorized taxi companies CMV Taxi, Mitsoo and Taxi Green have a desk at the domestic and international arrivals.
