LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)
DEVIATION FROM OVER-OCEAN OPERATIONS
August 12, 2024
12 AM – 6:30 AM
Deviation from Over-Ocean Operations is expected to occur due to the closure of Runways 24L/6L and 25R/7L to conduct maintenance and work relating to the North Airfield Exit Taxiways Project on Monday, August 12th between 12 AM and 6:30 AM.
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.
Normally closing these runways does not require the FAA to deviate from Over-Ocean Operations. However, in this circumstance, the work areas will require simultaneously closing said runways along with certain taxiways on this night. This combination of closures limits aircraft ground movement and requires deviation from this traffic flow.
Residents may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and noise as a result of this deviation. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this temporary condition.
