Peru’s government is reopening some airports ahead of another attempt this week by congress to approve early elections to calm protesters and alleviate the country’s political crisis.
The airport in Juliaca, in southern Peru, will resume operations Monday while the airport in the south-central city of Ayacucho could resume operations Tuesday, Transport Minister Paola Lazarte said Sunday tweet from the ministry. Work is ongoing to resume flights at a third airport in Arequipa, also in the south, as “soon as possible.”
Operations at the airport in the ancient city of Cuzco have returned to normal after police and armed forces helped to retake the facility, the transportation ministry said on Sunday.
