Los Angeles International Airport
Los Angeles International Airport
Los Angeles International Airport (IATA: LAX,
ICAO: KLAX, FAA LID: LAX), locally referred to as LAX (with each of its letters
pronounced individually), is the primary international airport serving Los
Angeles, California.
LAX is in the Westchester district of the city
of Los Angeles, California, 18 miles (30 km) southwest of Downtown Los Angeles,
with the commercial and residential areas of Westchester to the north, the city
of El Segundo to the south and the city of Inglewood to the east. Owned and
operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), an agency of the government of
Los Angeles, formerly known as the Department of Airports, the airport covers
3,500 acres (1,400 ha) of land, LAX has four parallel runways.
In 2018, LAX handled 87,534,384 passengers,
making it the world's fourth busiest and the United States' second busiest
airport following Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. As the
largest and busiest international airport on the U.S. West Coast, LAX is a
major international gateway to the United States, and also serves a connection
point for passengers traveling internationally. The airport holds the record
for the world's busiest origin and destination airport, since relative to other
airports, many more travelers begin or end their trips in Los Angeles than use
it as a connection. It is also the only airport to rank among the top five U.S.
airports for both passenger and cargo traffic.
LAX serves as a hub or focus city for
more passenger airlines than any other airport in the United States. It is the
only airport that four U.S. legacy carriers (Alaska, American, Delta, and
United) have designated as a hub and is a focus city for Air New Zealand,
Allegiant Air, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Qantas, Southwest Airlines, and Volaris.
While LAX is the busiest airport in the Greater Los Angeles Area, several other
airports, including Hollywood Burbank Airport, John Wayne Airport, Long Beach
Airport, as well as Ontario International Airport, also serve the area.
