The works on the expansion of the Jorge Chávez International Airport are more than 60% complete, it was reported by Lima Airport Partners (LAP).
As part of this process, LAP installed the first passenger boarding gate—of the 46 scheduled, each with an investment of more than US$700,000. In this regard, compared to the current terminal, there will be 27 more units. Thyssenkrupp Elevator Airport Solutions (TKE) is the company that manufactured these boarding structures.
The installation of concrete at the vehicular viaduct access, 6 baggage belts and 10 fixed bridges for the boarding connection sleeves of the national and international zones was also completed.
Bill Fullerton, director of the Expansion Project at LAP, pointed out that, in the last quarter of the year, work will continue at the Jorge Chávez International Airport, to the point that he expects to reach 70% of the construction of the new terminal.
“The airport city includes two key milestones for the operation: the construction of a new landing and takeoff runway, which includes a new control tower, and a new single passenger terminal. By December of this year, we plan to achieve progress of more than 70%,” he said.
