Delta Air Lines and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) have announced a US$1.86 billion plan to modernize Terminals 2 and 3, together with the Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LAWA is the governing body for LAX and Van Buys Airports. The project has been given the name Sky Way and construction is expected to begin in the fall.
At a news conference last week, Delta CEO Ed Bastian made it clear that LAX is one of the most important hubs for the carrier, with over 170 daily flights. Commenting further, Bastion said that: “The Delta Sky Way at LAX project is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in and transform the airport experience in partnership with LAWA and the City of Los Angeles. Delta is excited and proud to be leading the way not just in LA but in our hubs across the country, with more than US$12 billion in airport infrastructure investments in progress over the next few years.”
Delta also confirmed that new LAX facility will provide more security screening capacity with automated security lanes, additional gate-area seating, plus a world-class concession program in partnership with Westfield Corporation.
