Airport contact
Peru's second-busiest airport and the principal air gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, served by LATAM Peru, Sky Airline Peru, JetSmart Peru, Avianca and Boliviana de Aviacion (BoA). Sitting at 10,860 ft in an Andean bowl, it is a one-runway, visual-approach-only field with real density-altitude performance implications for operators; the planned Chinchero replacement has slipped to an estimated 2027-2028 opening, so CUZ remains the operating field.

Transber S.A.C.
Genuine DGAC-certified FBO ("Operador de Base Fija") logistics operator with ISO 9001/BASC/IATA/DGAC certifications; a Peru civil-aviation certified-airport-services company roster lists Cusco alongside Lima, Trujillo, Arequipa y Pisco as an FBO station, but independent sources only substantiate its Callao/Lima FBO base, not a dedicated Cusco facility, so the Cusco-specific service is marked unconfirmed rather than dropped. HQ phone is for its Callao, Lima office (national contact).
