Passenger statistics and history
In 2024, Los Angeles International handled 76.6 million passengers. It is the world's busiest origin-and-destination airport: nearly nine in ten travellers start or end their journey in Los Angeles rather than connecting. The field opened in 1928 and took the LAX name in 1949. Traffic figures move from year to year, so read that number as an indication of scale rather than a live count.
Getting to Los Angeles International Airport
The airport is roughly 20 km (12 mi) from the centre of Los Angeles, measured in a straight line. The LA Metro connects via the LAX/Metro Transit Center, with the SkyLink people mover linking the terminals; downtown Los Angeles is about 29 km (18 mi) to the northeast. Two evergreen tips regardless of how you travel: confirm your terminal before leaving, and if you are picking someone up, track the inbound flight on this site first: you want to arrive when the aircraft actually lands, not when it was scheduled to.
