Flights to Ayacucho
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ayacucho is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Air Force Colonel Alfredo Mendivil Duarte Airport (AYP), 2 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,186 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Force Colonel Alfredo Mendivil Duarte Airport (regional) | AYP | 2 km (1 mi) | 9,186 ft | 8,917 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,186 ft, AYP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 8,917 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.
