La Torres’ decision comes after just over a year in office. As recalled, given the questions about non-compliance in the delivery of the second landing strip and the new Control Tower, the Directory of the National Fund for Financing State Business Activity (Fonafe) agreed on January 27 to name a new president.

The still president of Corpac was appointed to replace Jorge Salinas. His appointment generated uncertainty then due to his lack of experience in air navigation, since his specialty lies in customs issues, being general manager at Enlace Aduanera SAC.

Although the day before they announced the restoration of flight frequency at the Jorge Chávez International Airport, and assured that “all the restrictions that required the spacing of flights have been lifted,” users continued to express their discomfort.

Even nationals and foreigners waiting for their flights reported poor service when requesting information about their transfers.

The decline in normality is due, according to journalist Paolo Benza, to the fact that controllers have just issued new restrictions in the official technical provisions (NOTAMs) that have come into effect from 7 p.m. “Once again, exaggerated separation on takeoffs (4 min) and entry into airspace (7 min). The ‘truce’ lasted less than a day for the MTC. “More delays are on the horizon,” reported.

The airline unions explained, through a statement, that these delays have been reported since January 26 due to the “increase in separation times between flights, affecting the regularity of air operations nationwide and the correct flow of entry and flight departures.”

“Such provisions, without any adequate technical support, affect the itineraries and plans of thousands of passengers who need to reach their destination points,” the document mentions and the following points are raised:

  • The continuous issuance of flight separation NOTAMs by CORPAC, with departure delays ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours and whose last period of impact began on January 26, to date It has been impacting more than 120 flights and a total of more than 6 thousand affected passengers. having serious consequences particularly on flights to the cities of Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Jauja and llo, where the infrastructure only allows air operations during the so-called ‘light hour’ for security reasons
  • CORPAC has the obligation to ensure the optimal development of air operations nationwide in the event of any situation that affects them. The above, in addition, constitutes an international commitment of the Peruvian State as a signatory of the Convention on International Civil Aviation of the International Civil Aviation Organization – ICAO and headquarters of its regional office.
