LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)

DEVIATION FROM OVER-OCEAN OPERATIONS

December 5 to 9, 2023

12 AM – 6:30 AM

 

Deviation from Over-Ocean Operations is expected to occur on December 5th to 9th between 12 AM and 6:30 AM due to the closure of certain taxiways on the north complex for work relating to the North Airfield Exit Taxiways Project.

 

Whenever possible, the FAA transitions LAX air traffic flow to Over-Ocean Operations from 12 AM to 6:30 AM, wherein aircraft arrive and depart over the ocean to minimize noise disturbance to the communities directly east of the airport. During this traffic flow, the south runway complex is utilized primarily for departures while the north runway complex is utilized primarily for arrivals.

 

Normally closing certain taxiways does not require the FAA to deviate from Over-Ocean Operations. However, in this circumstance, the work areas will limit aircraft ground movement and require deviation from this traffic flow.

 

Residents may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and noise as a result of this deviation. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this temporary condition.

 

Information pertaining to the traffic flow in this notice will supersede those mentioned in the regular runway closure notice for these nights.
