The Peruvian Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) has specified that 25 additional international routes will resume this November, thus allowing aircrafts to carry passengers to countries located in North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

1. Los Angeles

4. Miami
5. Houston

Concerning Central America and the Caribbean, aircrafts will be allowed to travel to Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.

In South America, planes will be allowed to take passengers to Brazil and Argentina, in addition to a new destination in Colombia.

The MTC stressed that passengers must comply with the sanitary protocols, such as bringing the negative molecular-test result and filling out the Peruvian migration office virtual form.

"(…) we urge passengers to continue complying with the biosafety protocols established for international flights," said MTC head Carlos Estremadoyro.

"This way, people will be able to continue with their work and study-related activities or medical treatments, but always protecting their health to avoid contagion. Also, remember that these measures apply to any international traveler, under responsibility of the airlines," he added.

The expansion of international destinations was decided in coordination with the Ministry of Health (Minsa). In this sense, the sector's head affirmed that each passenger —who wishes to enter Peru— must present the negative molecular-test result upon arrival.



Close to 12,000 people have traveled in 66 international flights since that date.
