"Los Angeles International Airport will shut down Terminal 5 for a "complete demolition" and overhaul project, it announced Monday. The closure, slated for Oct. 28, comes as part of a $30-billion overhaul ahead of the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics in L.A. The major renovation will "deliver a brand new terminal and airport experience," according to an airport news release. It is only the latest of a series of expansion and overhaul projects that have kept LAX in a state of what feels like perpetual construction."
""Our goal is to minimize disruption during this transition, and we are working closely with our airline partners to ensure continued operations and smooth travel for our passengers," Webster said. In 2017, the airport launched a massive reshuffling of terminals so that Delta Airlines could move its LAX operations from Terminals 5 and 6 to Terminals 2 and 3, forcing 19 other carriers to relocate. The move also connected Terminals 2 and 3 to each other and to the Tom Bradley International Terminal."
Terminal 5 will close Oct. 28 for complete demolition and overhaul as part of a $30 billion airport modernization ahead of the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics. The project aims to deliver a brand new terminal and expanded airport experience and is one of several ongoing LAX expansion efforts. Airport officials intend to minimize disruption and coordinate with airline partners to maintain operations and smooth travel. Airlines housed in Terminal 5 are being relocated: JetBlue to Terminal 1, Spirit to Terminal 2, and American to Terminal 4 beginning Oct. 28. The new Midfield Satellite Concourse South will support continued operations during construction.
