About Teniente FAP Jaime Montreuil Morales Airport
Teniente FAP Jaime Montreuil Morales Airport is the regional airport serving Chimbote, an important fishing and industrial port city in the Ancash region of northern Peru. The airport began operations on 9 December 1957 and has been operated by the Regional Government of Ancash since 2011.
The airport lies in the district of Nuevo Chimbote, around 11 km southeast of central Chimbote, and handles domestic arrivals and departures. It has a single compact passenger terminal with two levels, a small number of check-in counters, and an asphalt runway used mainly by regional turboprops, charter aircraft and general aviation.
Ground access is straightforward, with taxis and pre-arranged private transfers linking the airport to central Chimbote, Nuevo Chimbote and the surrounding coastal area. The airport sits close to the Pan-American Highway, which connects Chimbote with other cities along Peru's northern coast.
Passenger facilities are modest rather than extensive, with basic services inside the terminal and parking directly in front of the building. As a small domestic airport, it is best suited to regional travel, charter flights and onward road journeys across the Ancash region.
