    This recognition really seems very insincere., knowing that in Lima, Peruvian media manipulate information, calling people who don't even use the airport to vote, this is why it appears in the first place.
    Clearly the Lima airport is not the best in the area, Bogotá surpasses him by Leeejos, among others…
    Here is the proof that this situation has been repeating itself at least since the year 2013.
