Delta Air Lines and Los Angeles World Airports have unveiled
the final major phase of the $2.3 billion Delta Sky Way at LAX project.
Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport is now directly connected to
the Tom Bradley International Terminal via moving airside walkways, eliminating
the need for busing between terminals.
“This modern, state-of-the-art facility has been at the
center of Delta’s efforts to become the premier airline of Los Angeles, and
now, as we as we celebrate this years-long project being finished much earlier
than expected, we are better equipped than ever to provide Angelenos and all of
our customers traveling through L.A. with the truly seamless and elevated
experience that they deserve,” said Scott Santoro, VP of Global Sales.
The airline’s west headhouse and Delta One check-in area
opened to customers in June, providing another entry point for check-in and
security access. Self-service kiosks in the lobby area make dropping bags and
printing boarding passes simple. On the lower arrivals level of Terminal 3, the
Delta One check-in area offers these customers a private TSA screening lane,
direct access to the Delta Sky Club, light food and beverages, and white-glove
assistance from Delta’s Elite Service agents.
Delta’s new Terminal 3, a 1.2 million sq-ft, 27-gate
complex, debuted last April, featuring a centralized check-in lobby, expanded
security checkpoint and baggage claim area, as well as a state-of-the-art Delta
Sky Club, one of the largest in the airline’s system. Nine additional gates,
concessions, and spacious seating areas debuted in October 2022.
“Having just celebrated the opening of LAX’s Terminal 3 West
Headhouse and already hearing an incredible amount of positive feedback on that
aspect of the project, I know we can expect similar praise on the new Terminal
3 and Tom Bradley International Terminal post-security connector,” said Justin
Erbacci, Chief Executive Officer, Los Angeles World Airports. “This new
passageway will significantly enhance the travel experience for millions of
international and domestic guests.”
LAX is one of Delta’s hubs, operating more than 155 peak-day
flights to nearly 55 destinations across the globe, serving 19 of the top 20
markets for Los Angeles-area customers. The airline continues to add new
destinations there, with never-before-operated service launching to Auckland,
New Zealand, (Oct. 30); Jackson Hole, Wyo.; and Vail, Colo. (Dec. 16).
