Capital Improvement Projects

Construction Projects

As one of the nation's busiest airports, LAX is a vital gateway to and from Southern California and the world. It is also one of the region's most important economic engines. Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), the city department that owns and operates LAX, continually works to enhance safety, security and service at the airport. As part of this ongoing effort, LAWA has launched a series of capital improvement projects under the "Re:LAX It’s All Good" banner.

These projects will improve airfield safety, facilitate more efficient baggage security screening, incorporate the latest information technology, and enhance passenger comfort and convenience. Together they mean better travel ahead. As with any construction project, there will be some temporary adjustments to everyday operations that travelers may experience. We appreciate your patience while these improvements are made and we will provide ongoing updates on progress and what to expect. We will do all we can to minimize any inconvenience.
