Airports at each end
Leaving Lima
Lima is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 11,506-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Jamestown
Jamestown is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Saint Helena International Airport (HLE), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,398 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saint Helena International Airport (regional) | HLE | 9 km (6 mi) | 6,398 ft | 1,017 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,671 km (4,766 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
