General Jorge Fernandez Maldon Airport guide

The airport serves Ilo, a port and mining city on the Pacific coast of Peru's Moquegua Region. Its runway runs along the shoreline a few kilometres south of the city, at an elevation of about 22 metres. The field is named for General Jorge Fernández Maldonado Solari, a Peruvian Army officer.

A single asphalt runway, 12/30, measures 2,512 by 45 metres. The apron has three parking positions and takes aircraft up to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family. CORPAC, the state airport company, has run the airport since 1984. Airport hours are roughly 08:00 to 16:00 local time.

Scheduled service has come and gone. Star Perú flew Lima to Ilo from December 2016, and LATAM Perú flew the route three times a week from March 2019 until it stopped at the end of April 2024 when a mining-company agreement ended. The airport handled 27,205 passengers in 2023. Regional authorities have since sought new carriers, so check with airlines for current flights.
