Bradley International Terminal Renovated

05.27

Councilmember LaBonge joined Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Councilmember Bill Rosendahl today to commemorate the completion of the Tom Bradley International Terminal Renovation Project at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The $746.4-million project was designed to make traveling through the terminal safer, faster and more convenient for passengers, while giving a warm Southern California welcome to arriving international visitors.
The significant changes are expected to help LAX retain its competitiveness as the premier West Coast international gateway, especially to the fast-growing Asia-Pacific Region.
“The Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport is the first and last impression 10 million annual travelers have of Los Angeles," said Mayor Villaraigosa. "This project improves the travelers' experience as they pass through LAX, while enhancing passenger safety by reducing congestion in the airline check-in lobbies and on the curbside."
Added Councilmember LaBonge, President of Los Angeles Sister Cities, Inc., "This terminal now welcomes to Los Angeles the almost 8 million international passengers who arrive at LAX each year. I'm sure the late, great Mayor Tom Bradley was smiling down on this ceremony from the friendly skies.” Councilmember Bill Rosendahl, whose 11th District includes LAX said, “It is important that we provide a safer, greener, more modern and efficient airport for our traveling public. These renovations at the Tom Bradley Terminal do just that.” The project arrived at LAX on time and under budget.
