Delta Sky Way Program at LAX

About the Project

As one of the largest infrastructure projects in Los Angeles, the Delta Sky Way Program at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) began by relocating Delta Air Lines from Terminals 5 and 6 to Terminals 2 and 3, accommodating their growing operations and goal of elevating the guest experience. The overarching vision was to provide a Southern California experience through a light-filled journey that embraced the unique location. The result is a new 27-gate facility consolidating Terminals 2 and 3 and reimagining the customer journey from curb to gate. Guests now enjoy the enlarged concourses with more automated security lanes and gate area seating, spacious hold rooms with daylight and views, state-of-the-art amenities, modernized facilities, a world-class concession program in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) and an award-winning, state-of-the-art Delta Sky Club–one of the largest in Delta’s system.

 

The redevelopment program delivered a holistic operation with shared landside and airside services and a unified customer experience. The consolidated Terminal 3 facility provides direct connections to the Tom Bradley International Terminal via the secure airside connector, eliminating the need for busing between terminals. Serving as the final link at LAX, the Terminal 3 connector allows passengers to move through all terminals on the secure side without having to re-enter through another security checkpoint.

 

The project enables capacity increases for greater passenger throughput and a wider variety and number of aircraft. In addition, upgrades to baggage handling provide consolidated matrix screening to serve both terminals, expedite the passenger experience and make efficient use of personnel and space. Now open, the facility offers an enhanced passenger experience and optimized airline operations.
