A passenger terminal independent from the cargo operation, integrated with its own runway. Southern Peru joins the Pacific cruise circuit without relying on another city's airport.
Most cruise ports in the South Pacific rely on an airport hours away. Here, the passenger steps off the plane and reaches the pier in under 45 minutes — the same standard used by leading Caribbean fly-to-cruise ports.
The passenger terminal is located separately from the port terminal's cargo area, with independent access and operation, avoiding any conflict between industrial logistics and tourism.
Its own runway integrated into the project, with no reliance on outside airports.
Direct ground connection between the air terminal and the sea terminal.
Passenger terminal independent from the cargo operation.
200–300 m pier, 8–12 m draft, for medium and large cruise vessels.
Minimum connect time (MCT) target, air to sea: under 45 minutes.
No port in southern Peru combines sufficient draft for medium-sized cruise vessels, its own airport, and direct access to a region with an established tourism offering — Colca, Arequipa, the southern Andean corridor.
| Condition | Status |
|---|---|
| Draft available for passenger pier | 8–12 m |
