What EZE to LIM looks like
The EZE to LIM sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Buenos Aires EZE to Lima LIM is a medium haul sector of 3,153 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,153 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 18m.
Buenos Aires EZE is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 58 scheduled destinations and 109.4 departures a day. Lima LIM has 67 destinations and 306.4 departures a day.
Lima carries about 2.8 times the departures of Buenos Aires, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
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 EZE to LIM from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| EZE to LIM | 2.86 | 20 | LATAM Ecuador, LATAM Peru, Sky Airline |
| LIM to EZE | 0.43 | 3 | LATAM Ecuador |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
The two directions are not level: EZE to LIM runs about twice a day, the return runs 3 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 23 departures a week on EZE to LIM, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 4h 18m block time on EZE to LIM. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to EZE | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At EZE before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| EZE to LIM in the air, estimated | 258 min | 8h 48m |
| Formalities at LIM | 90 min | 10h 18m |
| Delivery run in Lima | 45 min | 11h 03m |
| Door to door | 663 min | 11h 03m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for EZE to LIM is 11h 03m.

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. 18 of them join EZE to LIM.
| Connecting at | EZE to hub, flights a day | Hub to LIM, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cordoba COR | 2.86 | 1.57 | 3,178 | 6h 11m |
| Mendoza MDZ | 3.86 | 0.86 | 3,436 | 6h 23m |
| Santiago SCL | 5.71 | 8.14 | 3,600 | 6h 36m |
| Sao Paulo GRU | 4.29 | 6.14 | 5,197 | 8h 38m |
| Bogota BOG | 2.57 | 9.43 | 6,577 | 10h 19m |
| Panama City PTY | 7.29 | 8.29 | 7,710 | 11h 28m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at EZE in the afternoon actually flies on.
18 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Cordoba COR, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through COR the routing covers 3,178 km against the 3,153 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 11m 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 53m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Mendoza MDZ at 6h 23m and Santiago SCL at 6h 36m 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 AEP is 31 km away by great circle and carries 57 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 EZE 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.
