Acerca de Los Angeles International Airport

El Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Ángeles es el aeropuerto más transitado de la Costa Oeste de Estados Unidos y uno de los mayores del mundo. Situado en Westchester, a unos 27 kilómetros al suroeste del centro de Los Ángeles, LAX se inauguró en 1930 y gestiona más de 88 millones de pasajeros al año. El aeropuerto cuenta con nueve terminales pasajeros dispuestas en forma de herradura. El icónico edificio Theme Building de 1961, con su diseño de platillo volante del estilo Googie, es un monumento emblemático. LAX es un centro de conexiones importante de American Airlines, Delta Air Lines y United Airlines, y alberga a todas las grandes aerolíneas internacionales. El Automated People Mover, un sistema de tren automatizado inaugurado en 2024, conecta las terminales con las estaciones de metro y Metrolink, proporcionando conexión ferroviaria directa al aeropuerto por primera vez. LAX opera cuatro pistas de aterrizaje en dos pares paralelos. La posición de Los Ángeles como la segunda mayor ciudad de Estados Unidos, principal centro de la industria del entretenimiento y puerta de acceso natural al Pacífico convierte a LAX en un aeropuerto esencial para el tráfico tanto nacional como internacional.
