Why are we proposing i t?

As part of LAX’s continuing commitment to maintain a gold-standard airport, the Airfield and Terminal Modernization Project will provide for a combination of airfield, terminal and landside improvements that will address safety, sustainability and reliability in the following ways.

Proposed Project Improvements

ENHANCES SAFETY & CARRIER EXPERIENCE

• Increases operational efficiency which reduces delays and enhances safety

• Reduces wait times on the tarmac• Removes remote gates—less busing• Improves taxiways• Enhances aircraft movement

IMPROVES PASSENGER EXPERIENCE

• Provides a better passenger experience than remote gates—more seating and concessions not currently available at remote gates

• Reduces wait times on the tarmac• Transitions seamlessly between

international and domestic flights

IMPROVES COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE

• Reduces traffic congestion on neighborhood streets

• Promotes sustainable practices—minimum LEED Silver Certification for new buildings

• Reduces wait times on tarmac; reduces aircraft idling, decreasing emissions

• Provides an additional connection to the Automated People Mover train which will link to regional mass transit

INCREASES BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

• Promotes local jobs during construction and operations

• Provides additional concessions (restaurants & shops)

• Increases business opportunities for local and small businesses
