## Description

Set on the Pacific shoreline just south of the city, the runway of General Jorge Fernández Maldonado Airport (ILQ) serves Ilo in Peru's Moquegua region. The town lives on copper – the Southern Peru smelter and its seaport, which also handles Bolivian transit cargo. LATAM serves ILQ roughly twice a week from Lima, and the airport handles no scheduled air freight. Forwarders move copper and minerals by sea and route urgent air shipments through Lima-Jorge Chávez or nearby Arequipa (Rodríguez Ballón).
