(Los Angeles, CA) Memorial Day is historically among the busiest holiday weekends at LAX, but with the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic and Safer at Home orders the airport expects to see far fewer passengers. For those with a need to fly in the coming days, the airport and its partners have implemented several changes that guests will see and experience.

(Los Angeles, CA) Beginning Monday, May 11, all persons within Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) terminals will be required to wear face coverings. This policy is in line with guidance from public health officials and mirrors the City of Los Angeles’ policy regarding the use of face coverings in stores and restaurants.  

(Los Angeles, CA) Each month, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) shares updates on current and upcoming construction projects at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). 

(Los Angeles, CA) Due to limited flight and passenger activity, social distancing directives, terminal cleaning and sanitizing protocols, construction and a priority to keep all guests and employees at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) safe and healthy, LAX’s Central Terminal Area (CTA) will restrict access 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

(Los Angeles, CA) As communities throughout California and the world fight the spread of COVID-19 by staying safer at home and avoiding non-essential travel, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) continues to engage our communities – from the youngest to the oldest – with activities that are perfect for avid travelers.

Nightly work to install a temporary sidewalk and protective canopy on the Upper/Departures Level between Terminals 2 and 3 will close both drop-off lanes in the vicinity of the construction area for approximately five weeks starting on Friday, March 20.

(Los Angeles, CA) Due to heavy overnight construction, limited early morning flight activity, terminal cleaning and sanitizing protocols and a priority to keep all guests and employees at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) safe and healthy, LAX’s Central Terminal Area (CTA) will be closed to the public nightly between midnight and 5 a.m. except for:

• Ticketed airline passengers and persons meeting, accompanying or assisting them (Airline check-in counters and federal passenger security screening will be open depending upon flight schedules for each terminal); and
• Airport and City Personnel whose employment requires their presence.

(Los Angeles, CA) Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, March 10, at 8 a.m., LAX will begin a 90-day pilot program that provides additional taxi cab pickup locations for guests. The two new pilot locations will augment taxi pickups at LAX-it, which will remain the primary pickup location for taxis and ride app vehicles.
