Scope of Works
The project included:
- Installation and commissioning of five Standard 3 screening machines.

Delivering in a Live Airport Environment
The upgrade was delivered while Jorge Chávez International Airport remained fully operational. Working closely with Lima Airport Partners, Alstef carefully planned and commissioned the new baggage handling infrastructure to minimise disruption to airport operations throughout the project.
Long-Term Partnership
Alstef originally delivered the airport's baggage handling system in 2004 and has continued to support Lima Airport Partners through ongoing operations and maintenance services. This latest upgrade builds on that long-standing partnership, modernising the existing system to meet the airport's evolving operational requirements.
Project Outcomes
The successful commissioning of the upgraded baggage handling system provides Jorge Chávez International Airport with enhanced Standard 3 screening capability, increased operational resilience and a modernised outbound baggage handling system to support future airport operations.
