The new Trujillo International Airport terminal project aims to increase the operational capacity of the passenger terminal and better manage operations and cargo traffic. This initiative also includes the improvement of the terminal’s external support facilities and the adaptation of the aircraft apron.
The construction of these works is part of the airport’s Master Development Plan update. Its objective is to improve airport service in the La Libertad region and to promote economic activity and regional tourism.
Modernity and Culture
Under the premise of Aeropuertos del Peru (AdP) of “integrating modernity and culture”, Peru’s historical, cultural and traditional values have been identified to define the architectural identity of the new passenger terminal. In addition, energy-saving strategies and technical solutions have been implemented, consolidating clear and efficient design guidelines.
The terminal has a simple, linear configuration. Its design is developed in a volume composed of three large singular spaces. These spaces have been designed according to criteria of use, free heights and structural solutions. They are as follows:
- Main area concentrating all baggage and passenger processes.
- Central space functioning as a connection and housing controls, customs, and offices distributed on two floors.
- The commercial and circulation space of lower height, dedicated to commercial uses and passenger circulation in departures and arrivals.
Space distribution
The terminal consists of a metal structure organized on two levels:
- First floor which encompasses the baggage and passenger processes in a large space, as well as the commercial areas. This floor also contains the support services areas and AdP’s operations offices, along with a small space for government entities.
- The second floor, smaller in size, contains AdP’s operations areas and some government offices. It acts as an articulator of the volumes for the process areas and the circulation and commerce areas in departures and arrivals.
Functional design
One of the key points is the modulation of spaces and volumes that responds to the 9-meter spans of the serialized gantries, allowing for future changes and expansions.
This configuration ensures a coherent and functional design, aligned with cultural values and operational efficiency, offering an optimal experience for both passengers and operators.
The proposed design for the new passenger terminal at Trujillo International Airport not only seeks to improve operational capacity and service levels, but also to reflect the cultural identity of the region and comply with international aviation standards.
