What AEP to LIM looks like
The AEP to LIM sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Buenos Aires AEP to Lima LIM is a medium haul sector of 3,138 km by great circle, flown nonstop 7.6 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,138 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 17m.

Lima is 2 hours behind of Buenos Aires all year.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on AEP to LIM from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| AEP to LIM | 7.57 | 53 | Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSMART, LATAM Peru, Sky Airline |
| LIM to AEP | 7.71 | 54 | Aerolineas Argentinas, LATAM Peru, Sky Airline |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 7.6 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 107 departures a week on AEP to LIM, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 6 of them join AEP to LIM.
| Connecting at | AEP to hub, flights a day | Hub to LIM, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buenos Aires EZE | 1 | 2.86 | 3,184 | 5h 51m |
| Cordoba COR | 15.57 | 1.57 | 3,171 | 6h 10m |
| Mendoza MDZ | 12.43 | 0.86 | 3,442 | 6h 24m |
| Santiago SCL | 13.43 | 8.14 | 3,609 | 6h 37m |
| Sao Paulo GRU | 13.86 | 6.14 | 5,169 | 8h 36m |
| Bogota BOG | 1.86 | 9.43 | 6,554 | 10h 17m |
With 7.6 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
6 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Buenos Aires EZE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through EZE the routing covers 3,184 km against the 3,138 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 51m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 34m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Cordoba COR at 6h 10m and Mendoza MDZ at 6h 24m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires EZE is 31 km away by great circle and carries 58 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for AEP to LIM in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
