Mayor Garcetti Announces Delta Sky Way Terminal 18 Months Ahead of Schedule

LOS ANGELES — Mayor Eric Garcetti Nov. 12, announced the acceleration of the Delta Sky Way transformation project at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) – a $1.86 billion project to modernize and upgrade Terminals 2 and 3.

The announcement came during a ceremony to celebrate the completion of phase one of the project. Lower passenger volumes at LAX have allowed for accelerated construction, which will allow the Sky Way to open a year-and-a-half early — in mid-2023 instead of late 2024. 

Renovations will include a consolidated check-in lobby, security checkpoint, and baggage claim facility as soon as the first quarter of 2022. The state-of-the-art facility will offer expanded security screening capacity, automated security lanes, gate-area seating, and Delta’s largest Delta Sky Club. The terminal will also provide connectivity after security between Terminals 2 and 3, which is currently only accessible on foot or via a shuttle bus. By 2023, the improvements will provide better access to the LAX Automated People Mover.

Since taking office, Mayor Garcetti has guided forward a more than $14 billion transformation of LAX that began in 2009. The Mayor’s historic infrastructure investments have strengthened working families and the middle class. The Delta Sky Way project is estimated to create roughly 14,000 jobs in the L.A. region, and it will help generate over $2 billion in economic output when completed.
