Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has announced a $30 billion modernization project aimed at transforming the airport over the next three years. This extensive capital improvement program is one of the most expensive airport modernizations globally.
According to SimpleFlying, the effort includes new concourses, terminal renovations, and roadway improvements designed to handle increasing passenger volumes and meet modern design standards. The airport has linked this plan to major events such as the 2028 Summer Olympics, highlighting the urgency of these upgrades.
Passenger traffic at LAX illustrates the need for modernization. In 2024, the airport processed more than 76.5 million travelers, making it the fifth busiest airport in the United States, according to KGNS-TV. While numbers have rebounded since the pandemic, experts emphasize that facilities must expand and modernize to prevent bottlenecks and ensure LAX can serve as a reliable global gateway.
