LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)

DEVIATION FROM OVER-OCEAN OPERATIONS

January 27, 2023

12 AM – 6:30 AM

Deviation from Over-Ocean Operations is expected to occur on January 27th between 12 AM and 6:30 AM due to the closure of the north inboard runway 24L/6R and certain taxiways for runway light evaluation and concrete repair.

Whenever possible, the FAA transitions LAX air traffic flow to Over-Ocean Operations from 12 AM to 6:30 AM, wherein aircraft arrive and depart over the ocean to minimize noise disturbance to the communities directly east of the airport. During this traffic flow, the south runway complex is utilized primarily for departures while the north runway complex is utilized primarily for arrivals.

Normally closing Runway 24L/6R does not require the FAA to deviate from Over-Ocean Operations. However, in this circumstance, the work areas will require simultaneously closing said runway and certain taxiways on this night. This combination of closures limits aircraft ground movement and requires deviation from this traffic flow.

Residents may notice a change in aircraft flight activity and noise as a result of this deviation. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this temporary condition.
