## Description

Fishmeal and fish oil are what Chimbote sends to the world, and none of it leaves by air: Tnte. FAP Jaime Montreuil Morales Airport (IATA: CHM, ICAO: SPEO) has no cargo handling, no freight terminal and no customs post for air consignments. Opened on 9 December 1957 on the Pacific shoreline of Peru's Áncash region, the field currently has no settled scheduled passenger service, and attempts to restore a Lima link have proved short-lived. The city's export economy runs instead through the seaport of Chimbote, Peru's largest fishing harbour. Time-critical air shipments travel by road down the Panamericana Norte some 430 kilometres to Jorge Chávez International in Lima (LIM), the country's only real cargo gateway, while Trujillo (TRU) about 130 kilometres north offers the nearest scheduled service. For forwarders, CHM is a collection and feeder point rather than a handling station.
