LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)

NORTH COMPLEX INBOARD RUNWAY 24L/6R CLOSURE

March 6, 2024 to July 18, 2024

135-Day Closure    

 

Starting Wednesday March 6, 2024, LAX will close inboard runway 24L/6R on the north runway complex to construct new taxiway exits and complete asphalt overlay as part of the North Airfield Exit Taxiways Project.  Runway 24L/6R will close continuously for 135 days from March 6th to July 18th.

 

Persons living near LAX may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and noise during the closure of Runway 24L/6R as more aircraft are expected to use the north outboard runway (24R/6L) for departure and arrival operations.  In addition, some aircraft operations may shift from the north to the south runway complex.

 

The FAA plans to conduct Over-Ocean Operations on a shortened duration between 1:30 AM and 5:30 AM rather than the usual 12 AM to 6:30 AM timeframe as the work areas will require closing certain taxiways in addition to Runway 24L/6R during the first 60 days (March 6^th to May 6^th) of this closure. This combination of runway and taxiway closures on the north complex will greatly limit aircraft ground movement and require LAX to operate this nighttime traffic flow on a shorter duration.

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this extended closure.
