- The new facility will serve executive, corporate and private flights, delivering a high level of service under safety and efficiency standards aligned with Peru’s goal of strengthening its position as a regional hub.
Lima Airport Partners (LAP) announced the launch of an international tender for the development of an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) terminal serving domestic and international private and business aviation, as part of its broader modernization and expansion strategy. The project involves the redevelopment of part of the former Jorge Chávez International Airport into a dedicated executive and corporate aviation terminal.
The new FBO terminal will deliver a differentiated service offering, with key facilities for passenger processing, parking, hangars, corporate offices, business meeting areas, and comprehensive aircraft services, under a private investment model estimated at US$10 million. It will be located near the former domestic flights access area and will comprise approximately 2,000 square meters.
Private aviation is a strategic segment of the global air transport industry. This initiative responds to the sustained growth of private and corporate aviation across the region, and to the need for dedicated facilities capable of attracting leading international operators. It will also strengthen Jorge Chávez’s position as a competitive regional hub, in line with other airports in the region that already offer specialized private aviation infrastructure, while enhancing Lima’s connectivity with the world’s leading financial and business centers.
“The development of the first private FBO terminal at Jorge Chávez not only addresses growing demand but also reinforces our long-term vision of consolidating Lima as a regional hub for private, executive and corporate aviation. We are inviting specialized operators with international experience to design, develop and operate a terminal that meets the highest global standards,” said Paola Loayza, LAP’s Real Estate Business Manager.
The FBO project forms part of a broader strategy to redevelop the former terminal and maximize the value of the existing infrastructure based on efficiency and urban development criteria. LAP is also evaluating complementary projects, including a logistics center, commercial spaces and a convention center, which will help energize the airport area as a new hub for investment, Loayza added.
It should be noted that, following the commencement of operations at the New Jorge Chávez Airport, the Faucett terminal ceased operations in May 2025 and is now part of a future development plan that will complement the airport’s operations as part of what is set to become South America’s new Airport City.
