American set to begin LAX terminal redevelopment
The operator of Los Angeles International airport has approved a new lease with American Airlines that allows the carrier to move forward with the first of $1.6b in planned works. American can move forward with construction of a new "terminal 4.5" core that will connect both terminals 4 and 5 at LAX with the planned automated people mover, following approval by the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) board of commissioners on 11 July. The $285m initial works also include the reconfiguration of gates on terminal 5 to add two more gates, and ticket counter and baggage claim areas. The works approved are only the first of a larger $1.6b, 15-year improvement plan for terminals 4 and 5 that American and LAX agreed to in 2017. Major aspects of that programme include the consolidated security checkpoint, a consolidated check-in area for the airline and other concourse improvements.<br/>
