๐ข Terminal Information
Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is the only airport capable of handling commercial traffic in the Apurรญmac Region of Peru. Situated at a high altitude, the airport features a single four-story terminal building equipped with a main hall and check-in counters. The facility underwent significant rehabilitation in 2024 following damage from civil unrest, restoring its control tower and air navigation systems.
While the airport has historically served as a vital link for the region with airlines like LC Perรบ, scheduled commercial operations have been intermittent and subject to suspension. Travelers should verify the current flight status before planning their trip. The terminal amenities are basic, and due to the high elevation, passengers are advised to move slowly and stay hydrated upon arrival.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow adequate time for connections. Check with airline for specific requirements.

๐ข Terminal Information
Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport (ATA) serves the towns of Anta and the nearby city of Huaraz, situated in Peru's Ancash Region. This regional airport is the primary air gateway to the breathtaking Cordillera Blanca mountain range, making it a crucial entry point for mountaineers, trekkers, and tourists visiting Huascarรกn National Park. Located at a high altitude of approximately 9,000 feet (2,750 meters) above sea level, the airport's operations are often influenced by the unique weather patterns of the Andes. The terminal building is a compact, functional structure, designed to manage regional domestic flights.\n\nOperational procedures at ATA are in line with Peruvian civil aviation regulations. Passengers proceed through check-in and security screening, which, while thorough, are typically swift due to the airport's smaller size and limited flight schedule. Flights primarily connect to Lima, and are currently operated by carriers such as LATAM or Star Perรบ. The high altitude means that aircraft performance can be a factor, and flights are often scheduled for the clearer morning hours, as clouds and strong winds can develop in the afternoons, leading to potential delays or cancellations. Boarding is usually by walking directly to the aircraft.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are limited to essential services. There is a small cafรฉ offering beverages and light snacks, along with restrooms. Travelers will not find extensive retail shops or currency exchange services on-site. For ground transportation, taxis and 'colectivos' (shared taxis) are readily available outside the terminal, providing transport to Huaraz and other nearby towns. Given the high altitude, it is advisable for visitors to allow time for acclimatization and to stay hydrated.
