A contractor involved in LAX’s automated people mover project, known as Skylink, files a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, alleging the city is responsible for ongoing delays. Multiple reports say the project has been delayed for years, with completion not yet reached despite long-running work on the airport transit system. The developer contends the city and related parties have contributed to setbacks that have kept the train from entering service as planned.
The New York Post further reports that the dispute escalates to accusations of a cover-up, with the contractor arguing that airport officials conceal what it says are the real reasons for the program’s continued problems. The Los Angeles Times characterizes the case more generally as a dispute over responsibility for delays, without focusing as specifically on misconduct claims.
Both outlets agree the lawsuit is part of an ongoing conflict over the troubled project, which is described as a major investment and an airport infrastructure effort still not finished. The complaint frames the dispute as one about accountability for the continued inability to complete the Skylink people mover system.
