## Description

At 8,917 feet above sea level, AYP ranks among the higher-altitude airfields serving Peru's central Andes, linking the city of Ayacucho mainly with Lima. Passenger demand is driven by tourism — the renowned Holy Week processions and the nearby Wari archaeological sites. The airport has no cargo terminal; air freight is confined to belly space on passenger flights, with larger consignments routed through Lima's Jorge Chávez International (LIM). It bears the name of Colonel Alfredo Mendívil Duarte.
