A Strategic Forum for Airline Leadership
Meanwhile, the ALTA AGM & Airline Leaders Forum will be held from October 19 to 21. This event will serve as a meeting point for top airline executives, government authorities, manufacturers, airport operators, legal experts, and other key industry leaders.
Under the theme “Aviation in Latin America and the Caribbean at a Crossroads: Addressing Challenges and Seizing Opportunities,” the forum will address strategic issues such as:
- The impact of the current geopolitical and economic climate.
- New costs and challenges related to airport fees and tariffs.
- Limited infrastructure, which is hindering airlines’ operational growth.
- The integration of artificial intelligence into industry processes.
- Topics like aviation safety, tourism, crisis management, sustainability, and cargo transport.
Jorge Chávez Airport’s New Terminal: A Catalyst for Transformation
Lima’s selection as the host city for these events comes at a pivotal moment for the country’s air connectivity. The recent inauguration of the new passenger terminal at Jorge Chávez International Airport marks a turning point in Peru’s airport infrastructure.
With an initial capacity of 30 million passengers per year—and projections to reach 40 million by 2030—the terminal triples the size of its predecessor. Currently, the airport connects over 60 destinations and is served by 22 airlines, solidifying its position as one of Latin America’s leading hubs.
The expansion includes:
- The operation of two simultaneous runways.
- A new control tower.
- A cargo center to enhance air logistics.
These improvements aim to elevate the passenger experience and strengthen the airport’s operational capacity, aligning with the strategic topics to be discussed at ALTA’s forums.
Peter Cerdá, CEO of ALTA, emphasized: “The growth of Peru’s aviation sector is remarkable, and the modernization of its main airport clearly demonstrates the country’s commitment to advancing air transport—an essential service for this Andean nation. We are thrilled to bring two high-profile events to Lima, a vibrant, strategic city undergoing transformation. This will be a great opportunity to strengthen dialogue among industry leaders and foster regional integration.”
With a focus on the challenges and opportunities facing aviation in Latin America and the Caribbean, Lima stands as the ideal location to discuss the present and plan for the future of the sector.
