Latin America is preparing to inaugurate a project that promises to transform the way people travel and do business in the region. This is the Jorge Chavez Airport City, a megaproject driven by Lima Airport Partners (LAP) that will turn Peru’s main airport into a modern airport complex capable of handling up to 40 million passengers a year in its first phase.
More than an air terminal, the development seeks to become a true “airport city”, with hotels, logistics centers, commercial spaces, offices, and services that will position Lima as one of the main connection hubs between South America, North America, Europe, and Asia.
The first airport city in Latin America
Jorge Chavez Airport City is being developed around Jorge Chavez International Airport, located in Callao, very close to Lima.
The project involves a comprehensive transformation of the airport area to turn it into an economic and logistics hub of international reach, following the model of major airports such as Schiphol (Netherlands), Incheon (South Korea), or Changi (Singapore).
The initiative is led by Lima Airport Partners (LAP), the concessionaire company in charge of the airport’s modernization and expansion.
It will have capacity for 40 million passengers a year and state-of-the-art technology
The new infrastructure will make it possible to handle up to 40 million passengers annually during its first phase, practically doubling the capacity of the previous terminal. The concept of “airport city” goes far beyond a terminal for flights. The project includes the development of:
- Hotels
- Convention centers
- Corporate offices
- Commercial areas
- Restaurants
- Logistics and cargo areas
- Financial services
- Technology infrastructure
- New road connections
