Peru's main international and domestic air hub, Jorge Chavez International Airport, has won the Skytrax Best Airport in South America 2014 award for the sixth consecutive year.
The main reasons passengers selected Lima Airport include the airport’s pleasant ambiance, as well as its outstanding commercial offerings. 

This prestigious award is presented annually by Skytrax, a London-based market research and consulting firm specializing in the air transport industry.

Lima Airport Partners S.R.L. (LAP), a Fraport AG majority-owned subsidiary, manages this popular aviation hub located in the capital of Peru.

Fraport executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte praised the special honor bestowed on the company’s subsidiary:  “I congratulate our partner in Lima on receiving this outstanding award once again.  This rating as the Best Airport in South America shows just how successful our airports are around the world and underscores Fraport’s very high level of expertise in the global airport industry.”

Lima Airport’s employees were also honored for their service excellence by receiving the Best Airport Staff in South America 2014 award – for the fourth time.  

Skytrax surveys some 12 million passengers every year in more than 160 countries about the service quality at about 400 airports worldwide. 

The data from these surveys determine the winners of the annual Skytrax World Airport Awards, which are presented in various categories and which serve as an important benchmark for service quality ratings of leading aviation gateways.
