Corpac indicated that everything was due to a short circuit in the network that supplies energy to the runway lights. After 10 hours, the problem was resolved and planes could be received at the airport.
Dozens of stranded travelers are trying to find solutions for their trips, due to the closure of the terminal due to a power outage on the runway, at the Lima airport (Peru).
