The airport could start operating as soon as 2021, according to the minister of transport.

The Chinchero International Airport – whose construction through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the Kuntur Wasi consortium ended three years after the concession contract was signed – will now be a public work; announced the minister of transport, Bruno Giuffra, according to El Comercio.

Giuffra said in an interview with RPP that the optimal solution to make this project possible in the time frame and in the way they intended to is to build the airport as a public work and then give the concession for operation and maintenance to a third party.

The minister ruled out that this decision would have a great impact on the cost of the construction. “In reality, there is no greater difference in cost than in a PPP. In these cases, there is sometimes a co-financing, but the State was also going to make a significant investment,” he said.
“He said that it is expected to recover part of or all of the investment made because the airport ‘is a perita en dulce’.”, wrote El Comercio. He added that there will be a long list of airport operators interested in participating in this project, which will allow them to establish conditions.
According to Giuffra, the airport will have a construction phase that can take 4 or 5 years. He also believes that it could start operations as soon as 2021.
