, reported that Peru reached an unprecedented milestone in civil aviation last year.
It indicated that 44.7 million passengers were transported during this period, representing an annual increase of 5.5% compared with the 42.4 million reported in 2024.
This marks the highest figure in Peru's history and reflects a sustained growth trend driven by economic expansion and the dynamism of tourism.
Regarding passenger traffic, growth occurred across both domestic and international markets.
Of the total number of passengers, 32.6 million correspond to flights within the national territory, representing a 4.8% increase compared with the previous year.
Meanwhile, international passenger traffic reached 12.1 million, marking a 7.5% rise compared with 2024, thereby consolidating Peru's connectivity with the rest of the world.
The MTC stated that, regarding the operation of air terminals, more than 476,000 air operations were recorded in 2025, including takeoffs and landings, equivalent to an average of 1,305 flights per day nationwide.
"This figure exceeds the operations recorded in 2024 by 4.6%. Of this total, 394,000 operations were domestic and 82,000 correspond to international flights, demonstrating the high capacity and efficiency of Peru's aeronautical system," the government agency indicated.
"This performance is particularly significant when compared with levels prior to the global health crisis. The 2025 figures confirm the sector's full recovery, surpassing the record of 40 million travelers reached in 2019 by 11.7%."
"This milestone confirms that demand for airline tickets in the country has not only recovered, but has entered a stage of solid and steady expansion," it added.
The MTC, through Corpac's ongoing commitment, guarantees the development of safe, orderly, and efficient air transport, consolidating Peru as a strategic air connectivity hub in the region.
