How much did the expansion of Jorge Chávez International Airport cost?

Jorge Chavez International Airport is the main airport of Lima, Peru, operated by Lima Airport Partners (LAP), whose expansion, with the state delivering the land in October 2018, added a second runway of 3.5 km and a new control tower that came into operation on 3 April 2023 and a new passenger terminal that opened on 1 June 2025, to raise capacity to 40 million passengers a year. El Comercio quoted LAP in March 2024 that the investment for the project is 2 billion dollars, while Wikipedia gives an estimated 1.2 billion and a syndicated credit of 1.25 billion dollars was obtained in 2023.
