IATA: Peru’s TUUA Transit Fee Threatens Aviation Growth, Hub Competitiveness, and Economic Prosperity

Source: IATA The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expresses serious concern over the Peruvian Government’s lack of decision to negotiate the elimination of the Unified Airport Usage Fee (TUUA) for international transit passengers at Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport (AIJC). Since 7 December, the concessionaire Lima Airport Partners (LAP) has been charging USD 11.88 per passenger, a measure that increases travel costs by 3% to 7%, leading to a reduction in transit demand of up to 11%, thus jeopardizing more than 1,000 annual flights. This is not a minor technical adjustment, it is a policy decision with profound implications for Peru’s aviation future, its competitiveness as a regional hub, and the livelihoods of thousands of Peruvians.
