Jorge Chávez Airport: This will be the new terminal, how to make your next boarding? | ECONOMY

On June 1, the new Jorge Chávez International Airportan installation three times larger than the current terminal and with an investment of more than US $ 2,000 million. With this extension it is expected to receive up to 30 million passengers a year at an initial stage, but what to take into account if you have a trip next month? Management visited the new terminal and tell you.

The infrastructure, which must be accessed with vehicles through temporary modular bridges -located between Morales Duárez and New Airport Avenues-,, It is divided into four levels: the first, arrival flights; the second, with a commercial area; and the three and four, where national and international flight departures are recorded.

For the outputs, the New Jorge Chávez will initially feature 90 modules of check-in On the third floor, where you can make the suitcases. That will be expanded in the following months and will reach 120 modules towards the end of the year.

Passengers will also have access to 39 self-service kiosks where they can print their boarding pass and the label for cellar luggage, if not performing the check-in at home.

He Boarding process It will be divided between national and international flights to the left, Lima Ariport Partners (LAP) reported. For the first filter, which is the control of document and shipping card, there will be 4 doors for national and 18 flights for international.

After that, the next step is the Security Control. At this stage, the airport will use high -tech tomographs, which replace the traditional scanner for luggage control.

“In total we will have 27 tomograph lines for hand luggage and 4 large tomograph lines for wineries“, accurate Karla Urdiales, spokeswoman for LAP.

These tomographs, which would make the process more fluid by preventing electronic objects from the backpack or suitcase, can process between 300 and 400 handbogs per hour.

Once this control is over, national passengers will be able to pass to the commercial area called “Duty Pay” and then to their boarding rooms.

In the case of international flights, travelers must go through migrations, which It will have 21 conventional modules of immigration control. In addition to these non -automated modules, where migration inspectors verify the identity and make the migratory requisite filters or alerts, there will also be 9 electronic doors.

“These electronic doors are interconnected to migration systems, and basically in a first stage they will be used and aimed at Peruvians of legal age, with electronic passport, who have made a pre -registration, on the website or in the mobile migration application 48 hours before their flight”, He explained Paulo Ostolaza, Zonal Chief of Callao de Migrationswho said that the offices of the entity are already totally enabled.

That tool, said the representative of the National Superintendence of Migration, would reduce migratory control with facial and biometric recognition by 20 seconds or less.

But, not all passengers can use automated doors. Minors, older adults, diplomats, crew and people who do not meet the requirements will be referred to conventional modules.

He also recalled that, unlike the old terminal, in this there will not be a passport issuance office at the airport, so it is recommended to carry out this procedure in advance.

“This new terminal is not planned this migration office. However, Migrations has planned to give greater operational capacity in national appointments and a deployment of different offices. The idea is to guarantee the citizen to issue his passport two business days before the flight without appointment at any of our units nationwide”, He concluded.

After completing all the corresponding filters, travelers can pass through a commercial area, adjacent to the 56 boarding rooms available for national and international flights.

For the shipment there will be 46 approach sleeves, above the 19 that had before. In addition, there will also be doors for remote shipments with buses to aircraft.

For the international arrivalsthat is, the flights that enter Peru, migrations will have 33 modules and 10 additional electronic doors.

“They will have the same interconnected benefits to Interpol systems, requisitions and migratory alerts, which safeguard national security and internal order”Said the migration representative.

After passing migratory control, passengers entering the country may proceed to collect their bags, in case they have luggage that has traveled in the plane’s cellar.

In a first stage six luggage strips will operate, with the capacity to process up to four simultaneous flights each, an approximate of 300 bags per hour. Towards the end of the year two more will be enabled, adding a total of eight lines to pass the luggage.

It should be noted that, as part of this process of starting operations, all this could already be operational with the White march It would be expected to start on May 15, with reduced flights.
