About Lima Airport

The Jorge Chávez International Airport, also known as the Lima Airport, is the leading international airport in Peru. The Lima Airport is actually located about seven miles outside of Lima in Callao. Even though it is only about seven miles to Lima, plan on being stuck in traffic for quite a while. The airport only has one terminal and can become congested at times. However, it is worth the hassle of being jostled about with its fantastic shops, restaurants, bistros, and passenger lounges. 

Being a smaller international airport gives the Lima Airport an advantage; passengers are not spread out over acres and acres racing from terminal to terminal. Instead, passengers come through one terminal and do not have to worry about running through a sprawling airport trying to get to the next terminal to catch a flight. Even though Lima Airport is small, it is one of the busiest airports in South America, with over 16 million international and domestic passengers passing through each year. 

Fun Fact: Limatambo Airport located in San Isidro was Lima’s first airport and opened in 1960. Due to space limitations, it closed in 1965 when the Jorge Chávez International Airport opened in Callao.
