Los Angeles International Airport Relocates Runway, Adds Taxiway

摘要

A major legal settlement involving California's $11-bil-lion airport modernization plan has cleared the way for Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to improve the safety of its two south runways and prepare them for the new 550-passenger Airbus A380 aircraft. This undertaking-the South Airfield Improvement Project (SAIP)-involves significant modifications, including the demolition and reconstruction of the southernmost runway and the construction of a new taxiway.
