Los
Angeles Airport (LAX)
Los Angeles is broken
down into 8 districts, each with its own
twist, much lik the city itself. Navigating
this city is notoriously tricky for visitors
and many find that using an airport shuttle
instead of a rental car or bus is the easiest
option. |

LAX History
Originally known as Mines Field, the LAX
site has been used as a general aviation
field since 1928. The Bennett Rancho began
to attract pioneer aviators who used a
small portion of this property as a makeshift
landing strip. In 1927 a group of local
citizens led by Inglewood Municipal Judge
Frank D. Parent; Harry Culver, a real
estate promoter; and George Cleaver, an
oil land developer, began to push for
the establishment of a major airport.
During World War II,
it was a military airfield. Commercial
airline service started in December 1946.
The present terminal complex was constructed
in 1961. In the early 1980s, LAX added
domestic and international terminals and
a second-level roadway.
In
current years, LAX has distinguished itself
with several awards. It has on several
occasion been acknowledged as the best
cargo airport by readers of Cargonews
and Asia voted LAX, for the fourth consecutive
year in a row, the best cargo airport
in North America. In 2001, Los Angeles
Airport earns FAA recognition for national
leadership pertaining to its extensive
runway safety improvements.
