LAX Airport

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is a vital department of the City of Los Angeles responsible for owning and operating two key airports: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport (VNY). Serving as the aviation hub for one of the world's most populous regions, LAWA ensures an efficient and secure airport system tailored to meet the Southern California area's demand for passenger and cargo services. By providing a range of services through partnerships with over 350 tenants—including airlines, cargo carriers, and various retail and dining options—LAWA generates its revenue without relying on taxpayer funds.

Key offerings include a comprehensive suite of passenger amenities, safety management, and environmental compliance programs, alongside noise management initiatives to maintain community relations. Governed by a dedicated Board of Airport Commissioners, LAWA is committed to excellence in airport operations, infrastructure improvements, and fostering economic growth through job creation and business partnerships in the aviation sector
