LIM Lima

How deep the LIM board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from LIM. This reads the same 67 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 34of the 67 destinations are flown by one airline
• 18destinations run less than once a day
• 22destinations have four or more departures a day
• 73.1%of the destinations name LATAM Peru, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at LIM

30 airlines appear on the LIM board and they do not hold it evenly. LATAM Peru is on 49 of the 67 destinations, 73.1 per cent of them, and on 19 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 282.4 of the 306.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Sky Airline on 19 destinations. 19 of the 30 airlines at LIM appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 49 of the 67 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an LIM sector is usually another LATAM Peru aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. No alternate airport within road reach is held for LIM, so that second look is a longer road leg or a different day.

How much of the LIM board is daily

Of the 67 destinations, 49 are flown at least once a day and 18 are not, 3 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the LIM board is flown about twice a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: LIM to Tingo Maria (TGI) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 112.4 of the 306.4 departures a day, 36.7 per cent of the whole board. The other 62 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at LIM usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of LIM where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 7 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from LIM

The desk holds the return direction for 27 of the 67 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into LIM runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Cusco (CUZ) at 49.4 out a day against 7.7 back, Punta Cana (PUJ) at 5.6 out a day against 1.6 back and Santiago (SCL) at 13.4 out a day against 8.1 back.

It runs the other way as well: Buenos Aires (EZE) files 2.9 a day back into LIM against 0.43 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at LIM

LIM keeps America/Lima time, nine hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at LIM, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

The night at LIM

2 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from LIM that lands inside it leaves around 04:07, on a modelled block of 12h 53m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from LIM that lands inside it leaves around 02:50, on a modelled block of 13h 10m. Those two departure times out of LIM are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where LIM turns up on the rest of this site

LIM carries two other pages on this site as well: the Peru country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the LIM transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 8 airport pair pages that start or end at LIM, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Lima to Santiago (SCL), Lima to Bogotá (BOG) and Lima to Tocumen (PTY).

Eight courier postings name LIM as the airport a courier here flies from: Lima, Ica and Chincha Alta.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with LIM already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 67 destinations above.
