At Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Delta Airlines and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) have unveiled the first phase of the Delta Sky Way at LAX, a joint $2.3 billion project to upgrade and reimagine the Delta-dedicated facilities, some of which dated back to 1961.
On March 29, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian shared the scissors with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the centralized headhouse for Terminals 2 and 3. At the ceremony, Bastian said,
“Today, we are celebrating a huge milestone in making the Delta Sky Way project dream a reality. In partnership with LAWA and the City of Los Angeles, we’ve built a modern, state-of-the-art facility that will make travel through LAX a seamless and elevated experience.”
The Delta Sky Way, due to be completed in 2023, will consolidate Terminals 2 and 3 and have a centralized check-in lobby with 32 self-serve kiosks and 46 check-in positions. Initially, there will be seven security lanes, with another seven added later in the year. Eleven of the security lanes will be Automated Screening Lanes, and there will be 27 boarding gates, nine more than previously available.
