The international airport of Cusco, Alejandro Velasco Astete, will not suspend its operations, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) clarified via Twitter.

"The information that is circulating is false. The flight itineraries at said airport remain as scheduled," the Transportation and Communications sector emphasized.
