LOS ANGELES—Terminal 5 at LAX was officially shuttered Oct. 28 in preparation for demolition as part of a project aimed at revitalizing the facility ahead of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Last week, Los Angeles World Airports announced its plans, noting three airlines will move out of Terminal 5. JetBlue was the first to leave and relocate to Terminal 1, followed by Spirit Airlines to Terminal 2. After American Airlines shifts its operations to Terminal 4 on Oct. 28, Terminal 5 will be completely closed to begin demolition efforts.
