Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners initiated a seventh amendment to JCDecaux Airport, Incorporated's concession agreement to operate media advertising in LAX terminals. The amendment modifies the existing Terminal Media Operator contract. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee approved the item on September 11, 2026, after scheduling it for committee review on September 8. The matter is now pending Council action.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners initiated this file to amend JCDecaux Airport, Incorporated's concession agreement for terminal media operations at LAX. The seventh amendment does two things: it extends the contract term by one year, pushing the expiration date to December 31, 2028, and it authorizes upgrades to the media systems at the Tom Bradley International Terminal and Terminals 4 and 5. JCDecaux operates the advertising displays, digital screens, and sponsorship signage throughout those terminals under the original concession agreement, designated LAA-8796. The Board approved the amendment at its August 27, 2026 meeting by Resolution 28458, and confirmed the action has no impact to the General Fund. The Board is asking the City Council to take three actions: confirm that the amendment is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review, formally approve the amended agreement, and authorize the Los Angeles World Airports Chief Executive Officer to execute it. The CEQA exemption is claimed under standard provisions covering minor modifications to existing operations. The file follows the standard concession amendment path through City Hall. After the Board approved the amendment, the document was submitted to the City Council on September 2, 2026, and referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee the following day. The committee has scheduled the item for a hearing on September 11, 2026. No objections or competing proposals are noted in the record. The file remains open and active, with a Council file expiration date of September 8, 2028.
