Mype in airport maintenance selection processes: challenges and opportunities

Abstract

In Peru, airport infrastructure has gained importance due to its economic impact and role in regional integration. The growth of commercial air transport has driven the need for constant modernization and maintenance. In Peru, Micro and Small Enterprises (MYPEs), representing 96.4% of the business sector, face significant challenges in participating in airport maintenance processes due to financial, technical, and regulatory limitations. The research focuses on analyzing the specific barriers that MYPEs encounter in national and international public tenders, highlighting requirements for financial guarantees and bureaucratic complexity as major obstacles. Proposed solutions include government incentives, process simplification, and strategic partnerships to enhance MYPE competitiveness and promote more inclusive and sustainable development. The effective inclusion of MYPEs will not only strengthen the local and regional economy but also contribute to the resilience and efficiency of airport infrastructure in the current globalized context
