Where we deliver at CUZ.
The FBOs we work with most. Other ramps handled on request — call dispatch.
Cusco private aviation handling
CUZ · CUZHigh-altitude ops; limited capacity; permits via the handler. We confirm the active field and current handler before every delivery.
Other operators in the area — Million Air HPN, Signature Newark — handled separately. See nearby airports below.
What we plan around at CUZ.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
Altitude — the passenger reality.
At nearly 11,000 ft, soroche is the norm, not the exception. Guidance is light meals, heavy hydration, no alcohol on arrival day — we build altitude-aware menus rather than a heavy welcome. Coca tea is the local answer; we can have it waiting.
Performance & timing.
Hot-and-high in a valley — performance planning matters and operating windows can be constrained. The handler drives the schedule; we work to it.
Chinchero transition.
The replacement airport is coming. Confirm which field is active before planning.
Sacred Valley onward.
The valley lodges (Urubamba, Ollantaytambo) sit lower than Cusco — a common acclimatisation strategy. We provision the route.

Delivery starts with the tail's FBO.
