:: In-Transit Passengers
When deplaning, those passengers who are in transit or who have connections to other international flights must walk through the hall of international arrivals, go down to the first level and, without entering the immigration control area, return to the international terminal; otherwise, they will lose their in-transit/ connecting passenger status. We recommend that passengers contact airline personnel when their flight arrives.

Those passengers whose final destination is Peru must go to the Immigration area and present a completed country entry form or Andean Immigration Card (provided on board the aircraft by airline personnel), as well as their passports or identity documents.

If passengers wish to purchase products in our duty-free shop, they can do so after completing the immigration process; they must always have their passport on hand. Items bought in the duty-free shop are tax-free.

After completing the immigration process, passengers should check the information displayed on the monitors located in front of the conveyor belts to determine which one is assigned to their flight and pick up their baggage.
