- The CEO of LAX in charge of transforming the decades-old airport into a world-class aviation experience gave CBS2’s Pat Harvey an exclusive tour of how it's all coming together.
GTA v will need a update after this
lmao i thought i was the only one thinking this
Masterflex03 🤣
gta v never disappoints with realistic airports
@@arthurzlol even thought that the runways are too short to be realistic but.. . but it's just a game!. Anyways gta will never stop making awesome maps and graphics :D
@@arthurzlol GTA airport is unrealistic
LAX needs a huge upgrade. Many of the terminals seem outdated. The remodeled International Terminal was a nice start. That's a beautiful terminal.
Umm I have been to terminal 1,2,3 recently and they all seemed pretty good cuz they are renovated. I personally think LAX is the best airport in Western Hemisphere
But I think terminal 4,5,6,7,8 need renovation ASAP
mrjinkorea I built it. Very proud of it.
mrjinkorea it’s a smelly terminal it smells like they need to change the pipes
Lax is behind other developed airports
There should be a train that connects LAX to Union Station.
@Craig F. Thompson It was GM that decided in the 1960's to remove public transportation in the LA region so people could buy their cars.
@Craig F. Thompson Like BART connects SFO to OAK up there in the Bay Area?
Just change 3 times on the shuttle, Green Line, Blue Line and Red Line. It's absolutely fine. 😁 (Sarcasm)
Or Green Line to Silver Line BRT. One less transfer.
@Craig F. Thompson BART started operation in 1972. The system was expanded to San Francisco International Airport in 2003 (31 years later) and to Oakland International Airport via an automated guideway transit spur line in 2014. A shuttle bus connected to OAK before that.
can we overhaul the TSA agents at LAX also? Never seen so many miserable, rude and disgusting TSA agents
Craig F. Thompson that’s rarely the case. 90% of the times Ive interacted with a TSA officer they were very rude to me or just could care less about their job.
U give untrained ...people power and wonder why? All bc of 9-11
Right next door to the compton ghetto... you arent gonna get better tsa agents lol
LAX is one of the easiest securities to get thru, it's painless compared to other airports. Relax dude.
@@joeylantis22 nope. I've been to 27 US airports and LAX is a shit show, I've been through LAX dozens of times and it's always a shit show. I guess you got lucky. Chill
The traffic inside the airport is just getting worse and worse.
You let me think of those nasty horns and the noises of car brake lol
The reporter is having an organism after everything the CEO says.
😛😛😛
Maybe a microorganism
@Craig F. Thompson jeez Craig way to sexualize everything
I'm not surprised by her reaction considering how crowded and disorganized LAX Airport and the city of Los Angeles are.
Craig F. Thompson (wooosh) right over your head
I love the modernization of LAX. The International terminal is amazing. So much room, modern, clean with lots of shops and eateries. Even the domestic terminals are changing and getting better reviews than prior years. Traffic is bad and TSA gets some heat. It will be a pain for the next 5 years but LAX needs to change. LAX is a moneymaking machine for the LA/SoCal area. People are traveling more than ever for business and leisure. Part of what gets people is the airport. An airport that is a big hot mess will lose billions of dollars in the metro economy by loss of business and loss in tourism. More capacity means more planes and more visitors. Adding new gates esp for big ass planes brings in tens of thousands a month for each gate. Each visitor spends about 1000-2000 dollars or more on things like hotels, taxi/uber, sightseeing, restaurants, shopping areas. You are talking about billions of dollars in money moves and economic activity . If LAX did nothing and it got so bad, then people might consider flying into another airport in another US city or another country to visit and spend all their money there. A lot of locals prefer to fly out of the smaller airports but LAX flights are generally more direct and cheaper and really no alternative for international.
As a frequent traveler, I don't want any fancy terminals. What I really want is a faster immigration lane and a better TSA service.
Use the mobile app. We got through in literally minutes while everyone else waited in line. We launch the app as soon as we land and then finish the whole process while we wait in line for the restrooms.
@@pandabird What's the app called? Assume it only applies domestic?
@@pandabird I will go check it out, thank you!
Move to Singapore then.
Look into getting TSA Pre if you're a frequent traveler and Global Entry if you're a frequent international traveler.
The "people mover" has already been going for years now. Here in Texas at DFW we have had that for at least 15 years now... LAX is way behind.
Gio S6 ikr. Same here in Houston with IAH. LAX is supposed to be the cream of the crop considering that it's the main airport for the LA metro area with a population of 12M+ but it's outdated by decades
@@williamshinn1319 Same thing I was thinking! It's the international hub for the west coast but it's beyond outdated sadly.
THANK YOU
yes LAX is behind. The airport isnt as updated considering it’s age. but it is not the international hub of the west coast. sfo already has the “people movers” going on for years as well as the many other airports on the west coast. speaking from a local Californian
Of the powers that be in the 50 hadn't needed to the whims of GM as completely as they did, our public transportation system in LA would be even better than it is now. Had that not happened, access to LAx would be on par with BART, DART and TRE in the DFW and many of the other public transit systems in the US. With that said, it does improve with every transportation bond measure that passes. Just look at how much improvement there's been from the addition of the Orange Line in the late 90s until today with the building of the Crenshaw LAX line.
Having gone to College near LAX @ Loyola Marymount (LMU) I am very familiar with the give and take the Airport, LMU and the residents in the neighborhoods in Westchester that abutt the airport have experience where it concerns both Airport expansion and the University's Master plan . The neighbors of the airport and university are not afraid to share their concerns about airport expansion and the noise that will come with it. There's a lot of give and take and compromise that continues to go on.
I picked up some family at LAX the other week and was thoroughly impressed by even the current layout of the facility. Some key points I appreciate include the central parking buildings directly across from the terminals (free, by the way!) and the fact that there is no on/off ramp to the airport. You just go down a long straight road and you're there. Very pleasant overall
Nice 👍 cant wait
Go LAX! Can’t wait for your completed transformation 👍🏻
god freaking TARMAC
ha you said freaking
I guess removing tarmac is not part of modernizing lax
I know. Tarmac was the material used in some airports.
@@ChaoticBean794 tarmac was like a gravel road with a layer of tar and sand mixture to loosely bond it together. I have trouble believing it was ever used as an airport surface.
Its godamn fucking apron
For over 4 decades I've made LA, my home .. I get enthusiastic about this improvements
14 big ones. I can't help but wonder if it really costs that much, or if there is some major graft involved.
Great interview!! I enjoyed the reporter.
Interviewer.
Mark Basnight thanks
Meanwhile... Singapore. (Enough said)
Singapore will still be 10 times bettr
Not enough said
Singapore’s airport is beautiful.
Irrelevant post. Just because Singapore has a great airport, doesn't mean that other airports can't upgrade and be destinations in themselves as well.....
@@stonew1927 They can upgrade... but usually they upgrade just for the sake of increasing capacity and forgo experience. They can learn from Singapore Changi Airport.
I have been there when it was crappy. I hope this year I will see this big change!
How are they moving passengers from the major facility to the satellite terminals? Underground people movers?
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Please, please, please tell me there will be some public transport connected to the airport, not just fancy new terminal restaurants and shops. (And sortof I guess via a peoplemover in 2023.)
Didn't they say just that?
She said there will be
Peoplemover will open in 2023 to the new Metro station not far away that opens in 2020 called the Metro Crenshaw/Green line. Metro Line will start at the Metro Expo Line/Cresnhaw Station, then travel south along Crenshaw Blvd and meet just outside at LAX where car rental place. Then continue on to the current Green Line tracks to Norwalk Station. A bus service will likely connect LAX terminals to the nearest Metro station while the people mover is being built and opening in 2023. Hopefully people will just pick up and drop off people at a Metro station, or pick up an uber from there instead of everyone coming into LAX. Traffic is so bad because everyone drives there.
Wow! I’m excited for the future now
$14 Billion Facelift? $14 Billion you can build a new airport.
A map with the 'mid-field would've been nice. Is that with two runways on each side? The people-mover? . . . is that to the Watts line to downtown?
The main problem is traffic.....fix that first. I was stranded for 3 hours on LAX airport road
I've never been to LA and I really wanna go
Great place to live if you can afford a $6 million home in a gated community.
@@HC-cb4yp I'm not talking about living there but I understand what you mean. Houses in LA are way too expensive
It’s overrated. I live around there.
You must go once in a lifetime. Best city I’ve ever been and considering moving there. People living there don’t know how lucky they are lol
Its not as expensive as you thing. You can find good sized houses for 600k. Plus salaries here are higher than most places. Safe place(depends where u live), lots of everything are and happen in LA
That people mover is going to change so much! Long live LAX!
LAX is a generation behind the GREAT airports of the world. And no amount of "cobbling together " new bits will change that!
What an airstrip it turned out to be!
Wow amazing.
Construction of Phase 1 components, including the APM, CONRAC, ITFs, and a portion of roadway improvements, would commence in 2017 and become operational by 2024. Phase 2 components, mainly consisting of remaining roadway improvements, would begin in 2024 and is anticipated to be completed by 2035.
Awesome.
While LAX is improving their service, CBS LA should improve theirs by not using the word "tarmac" when referring to the apron or taxiway.
14 Billion Dollars & All The Employees Are Going To Be Part Time....Unless You're In Management.
I wonder if the homeless will get to ride those new people movers so they can safely go from their shopping carts to their tents in the ally behind McDonald's?
For this kind of money, people should not have to take a moving sidewalk in the tunnel from Bradley to the satellite expansion terminal. The people mover should have an underground stop at the Bradley terminal and continue in the tunnel they are building to the satellite terminal. There should be a second people mover running a continuous loop along the rooftops of all the main 7 terminals that is sealed off and within the security area. As it is you will have to go from rental car or public transit terminal to a people mover station stop not stopping close to check-in at all
It'll be finished just in time to be needed again
I need to go into for another alignment on my car due to the excessive pot holes not getting fixed
bout freakin time
LAX Airport will look great for after expansion!!!!
The cost of all this will be added to the travelers ticket cost since the airport charges the airline for each and every passenger who lands or takes off, this includes passengers who only go through the airport without even getting off the plane, so if you are on a flight that goes from Denver to Honolulu with a stop in LA you will be bumped for a fee at Denver, two at LA (land & TO) and a fourth at Hono. This fee can be as high as $25 and it won't be long before the FAA lets it go still higher. Back in the day the railroads built their own terminals on their own dime, why are airports different?
Worse yet, due to an unfortunate commuter train accident in CA where the state hired a cut-rate engineer instead of using the host RR's engineers (you know-subcontracting outsourcing, the gobermint talks ill about it but does a lot of it themselves), the federal government foisted on the railroad industry this system called positive train control or PTC, it is based on using highly accurate GPS signals to control the movement of trains, unfortunately at the time, PTC was only a couple of scientific papers, no actual hardware had been designed and no software was under development, in addition they told the RRs that they had to have this operating in about five years or there would be hell to pay. As a result the RR industry has invested billion$$$, even on lines that already had a good proven working control system. Worse yet, the Federal government won't guarantee the continued operation of the GPS system on which all of this is based.
Our corrupt socialist education system has taught generations of kids, many now adults, that the government bought and paid for the railway system when that assertion is an absolute lie. People blame the railroads about the poor condition of passenger service when that isn't operated by the railroads but by Amtrak and various state agencies, There is more government money (sorry taxpayer) spent on the new terminal at LAX than has been spent nationwide on AMTRAK in the past five years. Congress and the administrations have continually demanded that amtrak be self funded out of the farebox, that isn't going to happen, EVER.
Major intercity trucking should be piggybacked by the railroads, for years the government blocked them from doing that but now they are almost free to do that. And they do a lot of it.
I agree that there are too many cars but what is the alternative? for years I worked in NYC, northern bronx, try getting there by transit, and that's a city with good transit, most other places suck. It might be explained that most transit systems are government run by politicians, had a system here in PA where the boss didn't know that buses had rear engines like a vw beetle. He rode around in a government limo most of the time. Cities have cut off downtown shopping and business with too much traffic (man made traffic with too many traffic lights and other controls, adding 'bike' lanes hasn't help any), parking regulations and taxes, and often crime. So we have to go after our needs to shopping centers spread over the landscape like pimples on a teenager.
Who else thinks it might still be worse than changi intl airport?
Everybody. Because we've all been to Taiwan of course.
@@imonymous lmao taiwan changi airport is in singapore
Imon no, Singapore is not in China
@@treepeenbawlz1934 no i meant that changi airport is in singapore and not in taiwan
But Taiwan Taoyoun Int. is still much better.
ReLAX guys! Don't hype!
The CEO looks like Beyonce !
1:36 it’s called the apron not the tarmac
There is DMV. There is High speed rail. Then there is LAX and only cost 14 billion...now that is something awesome.
A People Mover? Bet that took a lot of thought to come up with that one.
I heard Houston’s hobby airport is building into international
how RW-s now ?
They don't understand why the Chinese airports are so beautiful and successful. Chicago (the architecture hub, at least it used to be) understands. You indeed need to hire top of the top architects in the world to do the right job. The so called wave inspired design looks so cheap and bad as if it's designed by a mediocre architecture student (Of course they don't have the ability/taste to understand this). The fact that these different designs coming and tied together in unity however is conceptually interesting.
it looks good wdym
GTA V could need update after this
Another reminder that I love LA
They been to get rid of all the small, tattie and outdated terminals and replace them with terminals that are larger and modern.
Its not a tarmac, it's either an apron, a taxiway, or a runway
They can revamp, revise whatever structural design they go for, but unless they change the attitude of the employees @ the airport, it will continue to be a nightmare for travelers..
Is 2019. How we doing
W. Not good
Alas LAX. Really need things get going. Leaving home/hotel 4+ hours before departure and still missing plane is something must be declared urgent issue, let alone that this airport is the only ‘functional airport of metro LA, a notoriously traffic plagued area with shitloads of people whose only means of reaching airport is virtually their own car only.
I know this airport from San Andreas.
Could you stop saying tarmac please
It's still under construction
They could have the mta line go into the airport decades ago. Instead as it got close....they sent the tracks south to Lawndale. Dead On Arrival....er lawa managers too busy getting a paycheck but not doing much else. I pay extra money to fly out of long beach or orange county just to avoid the traffic of lax.
The departure tax should pay for everything.
Did he just say “get some chow”?
Well, how about just stop uber get in the crowded airport first? Before there are uber pickup point with shuttle
Good luck, I consider myself an LA native and despise LAX. The airport is a nightmare due to automobiles---disallow most vehicular access and it would be a world leader.
1:35 did I just heard tarmac ????
...and STILL no train access to the airport
I'm in the Los Angeles area, don't use LAX all that much, but from time to time. I can just hear it now, like The unpopular shuttles to the Griffith park observatory a few years ago. It will be a situation like the people mover is The monument to a project gone wrong. People are desperate for parking spaces, people movers don't run on time, they break down, and people are wondering when real solutions will be made.
they are adding like 20k parking spaces in off site garages and etc. and the people mover will link to metro and rental car hub. it works everywhere else. itll be fine
0:44 😅
"Along the airports TaRMaC"
They need to tear the damn thing down and rebuild.
The ceo is so hot
The WALL only cost 5 billion tho...
Seems like everyone has gotten an exclusive haha
Just how many ways is it completely wrong to funnel away from the general public our airports landmark building to be used only by military personnel !!? What the hell is up with that !?
that building has sat idle for two years.
I agree with you. I liked that place. It is part of our LA history.
they said it's for military just to get funding, then they will transform it into public :D
Agree. Doesn't seem right that only military should be able to enjoy the remodeled building at tax payer's expense. The public should have access to it as well.
@@stonew1927 - It isn't at tax payer's expense. The Bob Hope USO is a non-profit supported by donations.
That means everything goes up at the airport. A bottle of water might be 8 dollars.
The loop is a stupid design flaw. Passengers flying domestic need to deal with international passengers and vice versa. Creates more traffic....real smart
Tom Bradley is right in the middle of the loop. The international and domestic airports should have been placed in entirely different ends. Hope the new rework addresses this somehow but I doubt it
I wish airports designs can be combined with houses
Do you want to live in a house next to the airport and hear all those planes taking off?
RaymondHng that’s not what I meant I meant like the DESIGN NOT THE PLANES because I love how modern the airports are
@@poopoink3963 You cannot design a house in the same way you design an airport. Houses are different from airports.
RaymondHng OMG LIKE THE MODERNEST HOW MODERN IS IS AND LIKE THE ROOF DESIGN
Love seeing black people strive and be a Ceo of $14Billion dollar project
lax is the shame of LA，or usa

hi C X...
what reason shame on america or LAX or both
Nah the subway in NYC is

What do you mean, california is next to the pacific ocean.
I got turned off as soon as she said "Go Warriors" smh 1:04
Victor Magallanes Laker fan? Must be. 😂😂😂
can we PLEASE get that amazing CEO over to new york to fix JFK
Is it finished yet?
fucking dumbass
There were few airports I hated worse than LAX. Horribly designed, a relic of the past. A nightmare from every aspect: access, delays, security, parking, facilities. Should have been razed and rebuilt from scratch.
It's called a ramp not tarmac
1:33 tarmac?
The transportation in LA sucks so it’s about time
Building more terminals and allowing more people easier access to the airport does nothing about the planes! It is horrible flying in there! Planes are always late/behind causing congestion. It takes like 20 minutes to to get from the runway to the gate. I avoid that airport like the plague! I travel for work and that airport is one of the worst.....after SFO!
@Craig F. Thompson Oh yea that will save me lots of time! Especially with those new underwater trains......
If possible, I suggest you use smaller airports like Oakland Int, San Jose Int, Burbank, San Diego, Sacramento Int etc.
@@middletransport Oh trust me I use those airports as much as I can; however, sometimes LAX is unfortunately unavoidable.
Didn't Beijing build an airport from scratch that opened this year with far more capacity, in less time, and for less money?
whatthef911 i was just about to say that
Its about freakking time. That airport is a mess
no way SHE is the ceo
This could be hit by flooding. Tidal waves,tsunami
Nah. It's pretty elevated.
so you've obviously never been to LA lol
LA's fault lines are inland and not in the ocean. Tsusnami in Los Angeles is not possible. You need to study the Pacific tectonic plate before you make a comment like that.

This could be hit by flooding. Tidal waves,tsunami

hi A S...
no tsunami water wave hit fiooding in the LAX area...
but heavy heavy rainy rainy might be flooding in city of los angeles area...
remember that always earthquake will be hitting in all area of los angeles anyday / anytime / anywhere
Never heard anyone refer to someone as their job title then surname...unless they’re the president
@Maybe it’s Just me it's just you.
Also, people do it all the time when the person is not well known themselves as the organization. Actually, now that i think about it... google something like "Apple CEO Tim Cook..." and tell me if you can't find any exact matches.
...or maybe they only wrote that because he's gay.
It's done in the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. They refer to each other as "Supervisor _surname_ ". It's also done in the judicial branch: Chief Justice Roberts.
i swear to god stop calling it the tarmac! its not the tarmac, its called the "Airport Apron"!!!
aLoNg tHe aiRpOrTs TARMAC
Who owns LAX?
'
hi W numbers...
NO one own this LAX...
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is the City of Los Angeles department that owns and operates Los Angeles International (LAX) and Van Nuys (VNY) both general aviation airports.
The City of Los Angeles owns LAX.
Meh. I fly international out of LAX at least once a year and I just don't care for it. Whatever they do it, good i guess. But I prefer flying to Ontario where the facility sucks, the staff attitude even worse, but at least i'm out of there in about an hour. Also no traffic.
ITS NOT A TARMAC FOR GOD SAKE. No part of the airport is made of THE MATERIAL tarmac or refered to as the tarmac. They took you around the taxiways and/or ramps.
