LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)

DEVIATION FROM OVER-OCEAN OPERATIONS

February 20 - 21, 2018

12 AM – 6:30 AM

LAX will temporarily deviate from Over-Ocean Operations for two nights (12 AM – 6:30 AM) on Tuesday, February 20^th and Wednesday, February 21^st due to the closure of both runways on the south complex. The south outboard runway 25L/7R will be closed during these two nights for maintenance, while the south inboard runway 25R/7L is currently closed (see previous notice) through May 11^th for runway reconstruction.

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 mainly for 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.

With both runways closed on the south complex, the FAA will need to deviate temporarily from Over-Ocean Operations, maintain air traffic in Westerly Operations, and direct all aircraft operations to the north runway complex during these two nights. As a result, persons living near the airport may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and associated noise.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this temporary situation.
