Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners has submitted a proposed seventh amendment to the existing concession agreement with Boingo Wireless Incorporated for wireless internet (Wi-Fi) services at Los Angeles International Airport. The amendment requires City Council approval. The file was introduced June 18, 2026, and is currently pending review by the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee. No substantive details of the amendment's terms are yet available in the public record.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners is asking the City Council to approve a seventh amendment to the concession agreement with Boingo Wireless Inc. for Wi-Fi service at Los Angeles International Airport. The core change is a twelve-month extension of the contract term, pushing the expiration date to June 30, 2027. The amendment also includes two additional one-year extension options, meaning the relationship could potentially continue through mid-2029 if both options are exercised. The Board states there is no impact to the City's General Fund. The Board approved the amendment at its June 18, 2026 meeting and, by Resolution 28386, authorized the Los Angeles World Airports Chief Executive Officer, or a designee, to execute the amended agreement on the City's behalf — contingent on Council concurrence. The Board also determined the action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines. The City Council is asked to take three actions: confirm the CEQA exemption, approve the seventh amendment to concession agreement LAA-8862, and concur with the Board's resolution authorizing the LAWA CEO to sign the document. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on June 22, 2026, where it currently awaits review and a recommendation before the full Council can act. The file remains open with an expiration date of June 18, 2028.
