If you’re traveling through Lima, it’s helpful to understand the airport fees that may apply during your journey. Here’s a simple guide to the main charges and how they work so you can plan ahead and avoid surprises including the most recent “Connection Fee”.
Airport Usage Fee (TUUA)
The Airport Usage Fee, known locally as TUUA, is included in the services provided to passengers at Jorge Chávez International Airport. This fee covers the use of airport facilities during passenger processing, baggage handling, cargo, and other operational services.
Connection Fee
If Lima is a stopover point between two international destinations, a connection fee may apply. Since December 7, 2025, this charge is in effect for passengers arriving on an international flight and continuing to another international destination.
- It currently does not apply to domestic connecting passengers, as that charge remains suspended while under review with the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
- The connection fee can be paid in advance through the online payment platform or in person at authorized airport payment counters.
- Cash payments can be made in Peruvian soles or U.S. dollars. Change may be given in either currency, depending on availability. Payments in soles are calculated using the official exchange rate of the day.
If a passenger pays the connection TUUA twice by mistake, they can request a refund by emailing: devoluciontuua@lima-airport.com.
Departure Fee
This fee applies to passengers who begin their journey in Lima. It supports the use of airport services and infrastructure available to travelers departing from Jorge Chávez.
Current Reference Amounts
- International departure fee: US$ 30.86
- Domestic departure fee: US$ 12.41
- International connection fee: US$ 11.86
(Equivalent amounts in soles depend on the official exchange rate on the day of payment.)
IN THE KNOW: Many international tickets already include the departure TUUA in the airfare, but it’s always smart to confirm with your airline, especially if Lima is a connection point on a multi-leg international trip. Checking in advance can save time at the airport and help you move smoothly between flights.
