Deviation from Over-Ocean Operations at LAX

Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 11:21 PM To: LAX Stakeholder Liaison Subject: Deviation from Over-Ocean Operations at LAX on May 23rd & 24th Please be advised that due to electrical maintenance work being performed this weekend on LAX's north runway complex (Runways 24R/6L and 24L/6R), Over-Ocean Operations will be suspended from Midnight to 6:30 AM on Saturday, May 23rd and Sunday, May 24th as these runways will be closed. When Over-Ocean Operations are suspended LAX remains in Westerly Operations. All aircraft operations will occur on the south runway complex, which will result in increased noise to the residents to the east and south of LAX (South Los Angeles, Lennox, Inglewood, El Segundo, Del Aire, Hawthorne, and portions of the Beach Cities). LAWA apologizes for any inconvenience this causes but this electrical maintenance work is critical to ensure the safety of the traveling public.
