## Description

LATAM is the lone scheduled carrier at Francisco Carle Airport (JAU), linking it to Lima from its perch at roughly 3,360 m in the Mantaro valley. The field is the air access point for the Andean city of Huancayo and the Jauja province in Peru's Junín region. JAU handles no meaningful air cargo: the valley's farm output – potatoes, artichokes and dairy – moves to the capital by the Carretera Central road and the Central Railway, while air shipments consolidate at the Lima-Jorge Chávez freight airport. For forwarders it is a passenger feeder, not a cargo station.
