Airport Dimensions has partnered with banking group BBVA to open a premium lounge at Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), which the companies say will be the first dedicated airport lounge introduced by a Peruvian financial institution.
The lounge will be located in the international departures area and is scheduled to open by the end of the year. Access will be offered to BBVA’s premier customers as part of the bank’s broader customer offering. It will feature a Mediterranean-inspired menu created by chef Ignacio Barrios, along with integrated digital services.
The announcement comes amid strong passenger growth forecasts for the region: ACI-LAC forecasts that Latin American airports will handle approximately 821 million passengers in 20261, while Jorge Chávez International Airport is expanding capacity to 30 million passengers annually following a new terminal that opened in 2025, with long-term plans to reach 40 million.
Giorgio Benza, vice president for Latin America at Airport Dimensions, said, “Airport Dimensions already has a strong footprint across Latin America, and we’re seeing rapid growth in both demand and expectations. BBVA brings a deep understanding of its customers and a clear strength in digital innovation, which makes them a powerful partner. Together, we’re building on what already exists in the region and pushing the standard higher in Lima.”
Fernando Eguiluz, CEO of BBVA in Peru, said, “At BBVA, we believe that supporting our customers means being present in the moments they value most. Our partnership with Airport Dimensions allows us to take that promise one step further by offering a premium experience that reflects the way we understand service: close, innovative and designed to help our customers go further. This project is especially meaningful because it comes to life in the year we celebrate 75 years of serving Peruvians.”
The lounge adds to Airport Dimensions’ existing footprint at Jorge Chávez International Airport, which includes Sleepover private sleeping facilities, the Priority Lane fast-track security service, and The Club LIM, which the company says is the largest lounge in the its network. These services are available to Priority Pass members and LoungeKey cardholders.
