 Lima: Jorge Chávez Airport closes its runway and reportes flight delays (Spanish)

Passengers coming from Pucallpa indicated that the Latam airline could not land at the Lima airport and returned them to their place of departure.

Problems were reported at the Jorge Chávez airport this morning

Passengers indicated through social networks that Latam airline flights from Pucallpa and Trujillo could not land at Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) due to a problem later identified as the technical malfunction of an aircraft on the runway. Likewise, people from Pisco and Lima denounced delays in their flights.

Passengers from different national destinations expressed their annoyance at this situation. Because of this, they had to remain at the airport without any explanation.

Airport operator Lima Air Partners (LAP) temporarily closed the runway, due to a plane having a technical malfunction. At that time there were three aircraft in position to land on LIM Airport's one runway. For this reason, they were diverted to Pisco. These trips were from Cusco, Santiago de Chile, and Puerto Maldonado. Each flight suffered a delay, but all have already taken off from the capital after resolving the incident, according to the information obtained by La República.

Through Twitter, LAP indicated that everything was resolved, and operations resumed normally.


The tweet indicated the runway was temporarily closed this morning between 10:50 and 11:46 am.

Travel: how to report problems with my flight?

According to the National Institute for the Defense of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi), travelers who have problems with their air tickets due to changes in schedules, dates or cancellation of flights caused by the airlines can make claims before the institution.

To make a report to Indecopi, you can use their WhatsApp account, calling the number (+51) 985 197 624. This Indecopi chat is open all year, 24 hours a day, including holidays.

If your trip is within Peru, you should go to Office 250 on the Airport's 2nd floor. You can also call (+511) 224-7800 extension 3201.

If the flight is international, you can find the office next to the landing gates for international arrivals. In this case, you can call 224 7800, extension 3202.

What are your rights as a passenger if the flight is delayed or cancelled?

According to the Consumer Protection and Defense Code and the Civil Aeronautics Law of Peru, when your flight is canceled or delayed due to the responsibility of the airline, the airline must inform you of the causes and what it will do to solve it. In addition, depending on how much time has elapsed, you have the right to:

  • If the flight delay is greater than two hours and less than four hours: a snack and a phone call.
  • If the delay is greater than four hours and less than six hours: a snack, a phone call and food. Depending on the time, it can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
  • If the delay is greater than six hours: a snack, a phone call, food depending on the time, compensation for the minimum amount equivalent to 25% of the value of the journey missed, lodging (if necessary to stay overnight) and transportation from and to the airport.

Only Two Grades of Gasoline to be Sold in Peru as of January 1, 2023 (original) The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) reported that only two grades gasoline, regular (91 octane) and premium (97 octane), will be sold at the country's taps. Minister of Energy and Mines Oscar Vera Gargurevich clarified that this measure will not affect the increase in fuel prices. Only two types of gasoline will be marketed in Peru from January 2023. MINEM reported that simplification will not increase prices and will be implemented gradually. As of January 1, 2023, the adaptation process for the sale of regular and premium gasoline and gasohol (‘gasoholes’) in Peru will begin. This is within the framework of a simplification process that seeks to promote the Ministry. In this way, gasoline and gasohol of 84, 90, 95, 97 and 98 octanes will give way to only two fuels (91 and 97 octane) that are more efficient and with less sulfur load at a national level in line with what happens in other countries ...
