Francisco Carle Airport guide

Francisco Carle Airport (ICAO: SPJJ) is a regional airport in the Junin Region of Peru's central highlands. It sits at an elevation of 3,363 metres (11,034 feet) above sea level, which makes it one of the highest commercial airports in the country. It serves the Mantaro Valley, including Jauja, Huancayo and Tarma.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 13/31, that is 2,810 metres long and 45 metres wide and has PAPI approach lights. The state airport authority CORPAC manages the field. Scheduled flights connect it with Lima's Jorge Chavez International Airport, and Sky Airline Peru and LATAM Peru have flown the route.

Commercial flights stopped for about three months in 2025 while CORPAC rehabilitated the central 2,700-metre section of the runway. Sky resumed service on 7 July 2025 and LATAM followed on 18 July 2025. Peru's transport ministry has set aside an estimated S/ 355 million to rehabilitate the runway, taxiway and apron and to modernise the passenger terminal.
