[[Jorge Chávez International Airport]], the largest in Peru, is undergoing an expansion that includes the construction of a new runway, control tower and a new terminal, along with new hotels, logistical buildings and cargo sector. Altogether, they make up the Ciudad Aeropuerto, Airport City. It will allow transit of 40 million passengers every year and will be completed in December 2024. Another ambitious airport project is the [[Chinchero International Airport]] in [[Department of Cuzco|Cusco]]. The new airport is set to replace the old [[Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport]] and help passengers bypass a stop in Lima by introducing international routes.
