New Fee Coming to Lima's Jorge Chávez Airport: What Passengers Need to Know

TUUA Fee to Impact 8% of Jorge Chávez Airport Passengers Starting September 25th Lima, Peru – Passengers transiting through Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima will face a new fee starting September 25th. The TUUA fee, announced by Ositran president Verónica Zambrano, will impact an estimated 8% of passengers who utilize the airport solely for transfers between domestic and international flights. "What's happening now is that there's a group of passengers who, when they leave one country and go to another, only use Jorge Chávez Airport for transfer," Zambrano explained in a recent interview. "That transfer, which wasn't charged before, will now be charged." The implementation of the TUUA fee has sparked some concerns among travelers and airlines. The video shows footage of passengers navigating the airport, illustrating the potential disruption the new fee may cause. However, Ositran assures that sufficient time is being provided for airlines to adapt their systems before the fee's implementation. This measure aims to modernize the airport's infrastructure and improve services for all passengers. The new fee is expected to generate additional revenue for the airport, which can be reinvested in improvements and expansion projects. While the initial reaction to the fee may be negative, the long-term benefits for the airport and its passengers are expected to outweigh the short-term inconvenience.
