Flights to Arequipa
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Arequipa is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Rodríguez Ballón International Airport (AQP), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,777 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodríguez Ballón International Airport | AQP | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,777 ft | 8,405 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,777 ft, AQP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 8,405 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
