General Jorge Fernandez Maldon Airport — Ilo, Peru

ILQ denotes General Jorge Fernandez Maldonado Airport, serving the southern Peruvian port city of Ilo along the Pacific coast in the Moquegua region. The airport supports domestic flights connecting Ilo to Lima and other Peruvian cities, playing a modest but important role for a city whose economy centers on copper mining, smelting, and port logistics. Named after a Peruvian military engineer, the airport has a single runway and limited terminal infrastructure typical of regional Peruvian airfields. Passenger volumes are relatively low compared to larger southern hubs like Arequipa or Tacna, and service can be irregular depending on airline route planning, but ILQ remains the primary air link for the Ilo area's residents and mining-sector workers.
