Los Angeles World AirportsThe Los Angeles International Airport's automated people mover project, known as SkyLink, which was slated to open in January, appears to be delayed again, which could have financial implications that could spell its doom. "And if the long-stop date in December passes without a new agreement, the contractors would be in technical default under the concession agreement," Zuchorski said. After the agreement was struck, Los Angeles World Airports CEO John Ackerman in a statement called it a "critical step" in LAX's transformation. "That effort includes LAWA's concealment of the errors of its problematic sister agency, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power." A spokeswoman for Los Angeles City Attorney Heidi Feldstein Soto failed to immediately respond to a request for comment.
