The airport has a large parking area located in front of the terminal, operating 24 hours a day with options for short and long stays. The system is automated to facilitate smooth entry and exit.
How it Works and Payment Methods
Upon entry, you must take a ticket at the entrance barrier. It is important to keep this ticket, as you will need it to make the payment before retrieving your vehicle. Payment is made at the automatic teller machines or payment modules distributed throughout the terminal and in the parking area itself. These modules accept:
- Cash (local currency - Soles)
- Credit and debit cards
Once payment is made, the ticket is validated, and you have a grace period (usually 15 minutes) to exit the parking area.
Parking Options
Short Stay (Occasional): Ideal for dropping off or picking up passengers. The rate is calculated per minute and hour.
Long Stay (Guardianship): Recommended if you are traveling for 24 hours or more, as it offers a fixed daily rate that is more convenient for extended periods.

Facilities for passengers with special needs
It is essential that passengers requiring special assistance, such as wheelchair service or accompaniment during airport processes, coordinate directly with their airline at least 48 hours in advance of their flight.
The terminal is equipped with the following infrastructure to facilitate the transit of all passengers:
- Access ramps and elevators in all areas.
- Restrooms and telephones adapted for people with reduced mobility.
- Signage and aids for passengers with visual or hearing disabilities.
- Reserved parking spaces.
Sunflower Program
The airport is part of the global Sunflower program, aimed at passengers with non-visible disabilities (such as autism, anxiety, ADHD, among others). You can request the Sunflower Lanyard free of charge at the information counters. Wearing it allows airport staff to discreetly identify passengers who may need more support, patience, or time, without the need for verbal explanation.
