LAX Advisories:
  
LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX) South Complex Inboard Runway 25R/7L 
Reopens in Shortened Configuration May 25, 2017 – August 18, 2017 

The South Complex Inboard Runway 25R/7L is scheduled to reopen on May 25, 2017 at approximately 3 pm after being closed for 36 days to accommodate Runway Safety Area (RSA) construction. Additional RSA work is still being performed after the reopening, requiring Runway 25R/7L to be in a shortened configuration from May 25, 2017 through August 18, 2017. Thereafter, the RSA construction on Runway 25R/7L will be complete and the runway will be available in full-length configuration.  

The reopening of Runway 25R/7L in a shortened configuration will allow LAX to utilize all four runways for departure and arrival operations. The shortened runway will accommodate most aircraft operations, but certain heavy aircraft operating long-range flights may not able to depart on the shortened runway and may need to use alternative runways, such as the south outboard runway 25L/7R or the north inboard runway 24L/6R, for departures.

LAX will continue to conduct Over-Ocean Operations between 12 AM and 6:30 AM during this period as weather and operational conditions permit.

LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX) TEMPORARY SOUTH COMPLEX INBOARD RUNWAY 25R/7L CLOSURE  AUGUST 14 - 21, 2017

LAX will temporarily close the south inboard runway (25R/7L) for 5 hours each night (1 AM – 6 AM) from Monday, August 14 through Friday, August 18,  and for 54 hours starting Saturday, August 19 at 1 AM through Monday, August 21 at 7 AM. This closure is required to finish the Runway Safety Area (RSA) construction. Thereafter, the RSA construction will be complete and the runway will be available in full-length configuration.

Persons living near LAX may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and noise during  the closure of the south inboard runway as more aircraft are expected to use the south outboard runway (25L/7R) for both departure and arrival operations. In addition, some operations are expected to shift from the south to north runway complex.

LAX will continue to conduct Over-Ocean Operations between 12 AM and 6:30 AM during the closure, as weather and operational conditions permit.

FAA SoCal Metroplex Community Engagement

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) signed a Finding of No Significant Impact and (FONSI) Record of Decision (ROD) for the Southern California Metroplex project on August 31, 2016. This is the FAA’s final decision, and it enables the agency to move forward with implementing the project, which will replace dozens of existing conventional air traffic control procedures with new satellite-based procedures. The project is being implemented in phases between November 2016 and April 2017. FAA is planning community outreach in support of the implementation of the project. The outreach will consist of both public information briefings and internet-based webinars. Click here for more information.
