In our third reflection on 2017, we look back on LAWA's significant contribution to the regional economy. At LAX, we are undergoing a major transformation and have created an economic environment that is bringing jobs to the region and increasing consumer confidence. We have executed plans for modernizing terminals and amenities as well as introduced new international routes. As our modernization efforts continue, we will endeavor to showcase all of what Los Angeles has to offer.
(Los Angeles, CA) Los Angeles’ economy continued to surge in 2017, as tourism, travel through LAX, and Port cargo broke all-time records yet again. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the record-breaking numbers today at LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal, alongside Councilmember Joe Buscaino and leaders from the Los Angeles Convention & Tourism Development Department, the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board, Los Angeles World Airports, and the Port of Los Angeles.
LAX continues to enhance guest services by optimizing the passenger experience through exceptional people, services and facilities. We hope that you'll take a moment to review a sampling of our achievements for 2017, and join us in 2018, as we endeavor to improve our guest satisfaction scores, train the 50,000 employees who work at LAX on how to be wonderful and knowledgeable ambassadors of the airport, and find new ways to amaze, delight, and impress.
(Los Angeles, CA) The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC) has authorized Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Automated People Mover (APM) train at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The RFP for the APM is one component of the larger $5.5 billion Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), which is designed to reduce traffic at the airport by adding a train into the Central Terminal Area (CTA) that connects to Los Angeles Metro’s light rail system, a consolidated rental car (ConRAC) facility, and additional parking structures with new areas for picking up and dropping off passengers. This is the first time a Public Private Partnership (P3) Design Build Finance Operate Maintain (DBFOM) model will be used to construct and operate an APM.
