The importance of Chinchero Airport for passenger flow
Jorge Chávez was the airport that registered the most travelers, with 21.2 million; In second place was Velasco Astete from Cusco, with 3 million.
It is worth adding that the Chinchero Airport, which has been experiencing delays in its deadlines since before the pandemic, will no longer be ready in 2025 as expected.
The Minister of Transport and Communications, Raul Perez Reyespredicts that in 2026. Meanwhile, from the PMO Chinchero, they estimate that in 2027 it would already be fully operational.
Chinchero Airport would occupy second place in passenger traffic, since it has a potential of 11 million travelers, almost 4 times more than Velasco Astete.
