Contractors Protest at Lima Airport Over $82 Million in Unpaid Terminal Work

LAP asserts it has paid the main contractor in full, calling the claims a dispute with the Inti Punku consortium.

Overview

  • Representatives and workers from 35 companies rallied on the second level of the new Jorge Chávez terminal demanding immediate payment and a defined schedule.
  • The firms say outstanding invoices total about $82 million, with some bills reportedly overdue for up to two years.
  • Participants reported that each affected company employs roughly 100 workers whose livelihoods have been strained by the delays.
  • LAP spokesperson José Antonio Hernández Oliva said the concessionaire owes nothing, stating it fulfilled 100% of its obligations to the construction contractor.
  • LAP identified the Inti Punku consortium, made up of Sacyr and Cumbra Ingeniería y Construcción, as the counterpart for any supplier debts and said it has met with about 50 firms to facilitate talks, as police kept order and passenger flows continued normally.
