Cuzco, Perú (SPZO)

Cuzco v1.0 (SPZO for XP)

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (IATA: CUZ, ICAO: SPZO) is an international airport located in the city of Cusco, in southeastern Peru. Cusco, a principal tourist attraction in Latin America, receives various domestic flights as well as some international flights. Its runways are completely paved. Currently, it operates at limited capacity due to its precarious location near the city's center. Despite these limitations, the airport has consistently ranked as Peru's second most important air terminal, handling 2,308,110 national and international passengers in 2013, as reported by CORPAC.

The airport has a number of commodities which attend to the multitude of tourists which visit the city of Cusco. A number of years ago, it was the first Peruvian airport to make use of jetways. The runway is paved and is 3400 meters (11,155 feet) long and 45 meters (148 feet) wide. The long length of the runway is due of the elevation of the airport. The thin/less dense air requires aircraft to use more runway length to generate wing lift. Engine power generation is reduced for the same reasons, less dense air, less thrust from the engines than at lower elevations. Climb-outs are much more slow and shallow than at lower elevation airports.

The airport handle domestic flights operated by Avianca, LATAM Perú, LC Perú, Peruvian Airlines and Star Perú from/to Lima, Arequipa, Juliaca, and Puerto Maldonado; and also International Routes connecting Bogotá (Colombia), La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia) operated by Avianca and Amaszonas.

On February 3, 2017, President Kuczynski announced the beginning of the construction of the new Chinchero International Airport which will be located in the suburb of Chinchero, 30 minutes from Cusco city. It is estimated that the new airport, will be completed by 2021 when Velasco Astete Airport will be closed. It is expected to receive up to 6 million passengers upon its opening.
