New Airport Terminal and Runway Lima, Peru (SPJC)

Key operational safety considerations following the opening of a new terminal and parallel runway (16R/34L) at Jorge Chávez International Airport (SPJC) in Lima, Peru. Developed in collaboration with the Peruvian Collaborative Aviation Safety Team (P-CAST) and the U.S. Commercial Aviation Safety Team (USCAST), this information sheet identifies emerging hazards such as approach and landing misalignments (ALM), taxiway flow changes, and unpublished hotspots that may increase the risk of runway incursions—especially given the transition from a single-runway to a dual-runway environment. Operators flying into SPJC are encouraged to review these insights and consider them in flightcrew briefings and operational risk assessments.
