LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)

DEVIATION FROM OVER-OCEAN OPERATIONS

April 30, 2021

12 AM – 6:30 AM

 

Deviation from Over-Ocean Operations is expected to occur on April 30, 2021 between 12 AM and 6:30 AM due to the closure of both runways on the south complex. The south inboard runway 25R/7L will be closed on 4/30 for maintenance while the south outboard runway 25L/7R is currently closed for runway rehabilitation.

 

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.

 

As both runways are closed on the south complex during this time period, the FAA will need to deviate from Over-Ocean Operations and use the north runway complex to conduct all departure and arrival operations due to the limited runway availability.

 

Residents may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and noise as a result of these runway closures. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this circumstance.
