Los Angeles International Airport

From WikiAir

Los Angeles International Airport (IATA: LAX, ICAO: KLAX), is the primary airport serving Los Angeles, California. It is generally referred to by Californians simply as "LAX".

It is estimated to be the world's fifth busiest airport, serving some 60 million passengers and more than 2 million tons of freight in 2004. It is the third busiest airport in the United States and second busiest international gateway, behind only JFK International Airport in New York City according to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. LAX handles more "origin and destination" (i.e. not connecting) passengers than any other airport in the world. It is a major hub for United Airlines.

LAX has nine passenger terminals arranged in a "U," also called a "horseshoe," and are served by a shuttle bus. In addition to these terminals, there are 2 million square feet (186,000 sq. meters) of cargo facilities at LAX, and a heliport operated by Bravo Aviation.
