Aeropuertos Andinos del Perú

What Aeropuertos Andinos del Perú does

Aeropuertos Andinos del Perú S.A. (AAP) is a privately held Peruvian airport concessionaire that operates and manages five regional airports in Southern Peru under a 25-year concession contract with the Peruvian State that commenced on January 5, 2011 and runs through 2036. The company, a subsidiary of Andino Investment Holding (a Peruvian conglomerate with more than 50 years of logistics and infrastructure experience), runs Arequipa (Peru's third-busiest terminal), Ayacucho, Juliaca (home to South America's longest runway at 4,200 meters), Puerto Maldonado (Amazon gateway), and Tacna (Peru–Chile border). Across the network, AAP served 2.2 million passengers in H1 2026 and projects 4.7 million for the full year, with cumulative volumes exceeding 38 million passengers and 79,000 flights since concession inception.

AAP's core offering is airport operations and infrastructure management: runway and terminal access, ground handling, passenger processing, baggage handling, and security screening, supported by a Safety Management System (SMS), flight information display systems (FIDS), and ISO 9001:2015-certified processes. The product portfolio is augmented by Andes Salón VIP lounges at all five airports, the UNKU platform (a commercial channel for local artisans and small producers that supplies approximately 44% of commercial offerings at Ayacucho), airport advertising inventory across departure lounges, arrival halls, check-in halls and parking areas, and regulated TUUA fee collection on behalf of the Peruvian State. Certifications include ACI-LAC Green Airport Recognition (2019), Airport Health Accreditation (2020), and Huella de Carbono Perú First Star (2021).

Revenue is generated through four streams: regulated TUUA per-passenger fees differentiated by airport and flight type ($6.14–$7.36 national, $20.41 international); landing, parking, and bridge fees on commercial aircraft; commercial rent from retail, F&B, duty-free, banking (BBVA, BCP), and car rental (Hertz) tenants; and airport advertising sales. Anchor B2B customers are LATAM Airlines, JetSMART, and SKY Airline. The company has launched a US$472 million multi-year capital program anchored by a US$300 million new Arequipa terminal targeting 6.5 million passenger capacity, a US$130 million Juliaca runway investment, and operational enhancements that have already enabled 20% capacity uplift at Ayacucho through nighttime operations.
