Overview
- Lima Airport Partners confirmed a 20‑day extension to the 16L rehabilitation, citing technical complexity and added improvements coordinated with authorities.
- The NOTAM for a full closure of 16L now runs to December 20, while the other runway stays active so the airport continues operating.
- IATA warns that more than 350 scheduled operations may need reprogramming or cancellation during the high‑season period.
- Airlines criticize the late communication and say the concessionaire had prior knowledge, as IATA presses for periodic, transparent progress meetings and urgent notice to consumer authorities.
- The schedule change coincides with a dispute over the TUUA transfer tariff set by OSITRAN, with provisional connection charges that airlines argue could erode Lima’s competitiveness.
