Sources: 5. Developments: 2. In Peru, regional leaders and private sectors are advocating for significant infrastructure improvements and land management reforms concerning major airports. In Jaén, representatives from Cajamarca and San Ignacio have formally requested that the Ministry of Transport and Communications modernize the Fernando Belaúnde Terry Airport. The facility has experienced a 99.86% reduction in air traffic compared to 2019 levels following the expiration of its runway's useful life in June 2022. Local groups are seeking congressional oversight to move beyond temporary repairs toward a definitive solution. In Cusco, Law No. 32533 has outlined a plan for the Velasco Astete Airport land. Once the new Chinchero International Airport becomes operational and Velasco Astete closes, the approximately 100 hectares of land will be transferred to the Provincial Municipality of Cusco. The law requires the space to be used exclusively for a metropolitan park to provide green areas and prevent urban sprawl or real estate speculation. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-16: Peruvian regional airport infrastructure and land use updates Peruvian regional stakeholders are pushing for the modernization of the Jaén airport and the conversion of Cusco's Velasco Astete airport site into a metropolitan park. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/peruvian-regional-airport-infrastructure-and-land-use-updates ### 2026-10-10: Aviation security incident in Colombia and new airport connection project in Peru A drone sighting caused temporary flight suspensions at Colombia's José María Córdova Airport, while Peru announces a $150M-$180M project to connect the Línea Amarilla to Jorge Chávez Airport. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/aviation-security-incident-in-colombia-and-new-airport-connection-project-in-peru --- Cite as: Peruvian airport infrastructure and land use developments.
