Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners has referred a concession agreement authorizing Host International Inc. to develop, manage, and operate food and beverage concessions in LAX Terminal 4. The file was introduced June 18, 2026, and is now pending review by the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee. This is a standard airport vendor agreement that requires City Council approval.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners is asking City Council to approve a 12-year concession agreement with Host International Inc. to develop, manage, and operate food and beverage concessions in Terminal 4 at Los Angeles International Airport. The agreement includes a three-year extension option, meaning the contract could run as long as 15 years in total. Los Angeles World Airports staff have determined the action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under the City's CEQA guidelines. The Board confirmed there is no impact to the City's General Fund. The Board approved the deal at its June 18, 2026 meeting and passed Resolution 28394, which authorizes LAWA Chief Executive Officer John Ackerman, or his designee, to execute the agreement on the City's behalf. Council is being asked to concur with the CEQA exemption finding, approve the contract award, and affirm the Board's authorization for the CEO to sign. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on June 22, 2026, where it currently awaits review. No committee action or Council vote has yet been recorded. The file expires June 18, 2028.
