Year-over-Year Change in Departing Flights: 3.98%

In July 2025, Jorge Chávez International Airport handled 7,689 departures, reflecting a 3.98% year-over-year change as carriers adjusted winter-season capacity on key domestic corridors and select regional routes.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

Departure On-Time Performance: 72.77%

Year-over-Year Change in On-Time Performance: −3.11%

Cancelled Flights: 110

Year-over-Year Change in Cancellations: −15.38%

Departure on-time performance averaged 72.77% (−3.11% YoY) as early‑morning coastal fog and low ceilings around Lima prompted flow restrictions and minor ground delays. Cancellations decreased to 110 (−15.38% YoY), limiting severe disruption, though weekend waves still produced knock‑on delays; operators continued fine‑tuning pushback sequencing and turnaround buffers.

Airlines Serving LIM

At Jorge Chávez International Airport, the schedule is anchored by LATAM Peru with Sky Airline Peru and JetSMART Peru, complemented by regional links from Avianca and Copa and long‑haul access via American, Delta, United, Iberia and KLM. The network balances dense domestic coverage with key North and South American gateways, reinforcing Lima’s role as a Pacific‑coast hub.

Outlook

Over the next 4–8 weeks of late winter, schedules at the hub should remain broadly steady with departure on‑time performance near current levels; morning marine‑layer fog and Friday–Sunday peaks may still trigger localized delays. Passengers should favor midday departures, allow 60–90 minutes of buffer for security and connections on busy days, and monitor real‑time gate and weather alerts via the NextFly App.
