Los Angeles World Airports Welcomes End of Partial Federal Government Shutdown

STATEMENT FROM LAWA CEO DEBORAH FLINT

On behalf of the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners, Los Angeles World Airports and all of the employees and guests of Los Angeles International Airport and Van Nuys Airport, I extend my deepest gratitude to our federal colleagues who have been shining examples of gold-standard service in support of safe and efficient operations during this partial government shutdown. We know that many employees have experienced great hardship these past weeks, yet have continued to come to work and do their jobs with the highest level of professionalism. I am grateful to Mayor Garcetti, our City partners, our LAWA family, and the airlines, concessions, community members and businesses who have helped support our federal workers during the shutdown. Our food pantry and other resources, such as free trips on the FlyAway® bus, will continue until our federal colleagues receive the paychecks they have earned.

About Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
LAX, the sixth-busiest airport in the world serving nearly 66 million guests in 2022, is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a proprietary, revenue-generating department of the City of Los Angeles that also governs Van Nuys Airport (VNY). As the international gateway to the Southern California region, LAX and its partners are dedicated to meeting global airport standards for customer satisfaction, safety, regional economic leadership, organizational performance and sustainability.

To better serve the millions of domestic and international guests that travel through LAX each year, the airport is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar capital improvement program to modernize its entire campus. Initiatives underway include an Automated People Mover, a Consolidated Rental Car Facility and two projects that will each add over one million square feet to the airport's existing property: Terminal 9 and Concourse 0.
