Lima’s new airport<\/strong>, which will require an investment of US$2 billion to serve 30 million passengers a year, will be inspired by the Nazca culture and will be shaped like a hummingbird, announced the company responsible for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This airport is going to be the most modern in Latin America. The investment is 2 billion dollars in the entire airport area,” Juan Jos\u00e9 Salom\u00f3n, general manager of Lima Airport Partners (LAP), the company responsible for the terminal, told AFP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have a building capacity for 30 million passengers per year, but we want to reach 40 million by 2025” with new buildings and the attraction of new airlines, he added in a tour with foreign press correspondents in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jorge Ch\u00e1vez ‘Airport City’, as it is called, will use state-of-the-art technology for passenger control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new airport will be located next to the current Jorge Ch\u00e1vez air terminal, whose facilities are more than six decades old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will have 46 shipping chutes and construction began at the end of 2020 with an extension of 935 hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It will be the only airport in South America (\u2026) with a seismic isolation system,” said the director of the Airport Expansion Program, Bill Fullerton, from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inauguration is scheduled for December 18. Some 8,000 workers and specialized technicians are working on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We want to position Peru not only as an airport hub, but also as a hub for services to the region,” said Salom\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most striking features of the new airport is its design inspired by the ancient Nazca culture (southern Peru), with a structure that will resemble the figure of a hummingbird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The hummingbird is a symbol of the Nazca culture that inspired the design,” Fullerton explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During construction, some 10,000 ceramic fragments from pre-Hispanic cultures were found. Of these fortuitous findings, 59 pieces were restored and have been declared National Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
