The Competition Tribunal partially accepted lawsuits by the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office and Delfos Ltda. against Consorcio SCL, concessionaire of Arturo Merino Benítez Airport in Santiago, for not selecting tourism taxi operators in the Airport via a public tender. SCL negotiated directly with the companies Tur Bus and Centropuerto, who already offered bus and minivan services (transfers), excluding other interested companies from the process, and therefore discouraging price reductions.
SCL was ordered to proceed to start an open tender process, to decide which companies can offer the service of tourism taxis once the current contracts expire, limiting the participation of companies that already operate other public transportation means in the same Airport.
