Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners has requested City Council approval for a replacement lease with Societe Air France at 5721 West Imperial Highway, including revised building rental rate provisions. The motion was introduced September 2, 2026, and approved by the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 11. The file remains pending before the full Council for final action.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners is asking the City Council to approve a one-year lease with Societe Air France for premises at 5621 West Imperial Highway at Los Angeles International Airport, with an option to extend for an additional year. The Board approved the lease and its associated building rental rate at its August 27, 2026 meeting by Resolution 28432, and is now seeking Council concurrence. Los Angeles World Airports reports there is no impact to the City's General Fund from this agreement. The Council is asked to take three specific actions: confirm that the lease is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; approve the lease terms and associated rental rate; and authorize the Los Angeles World Airports Chief Executive Officer, or a designee, to execute the lease on behalf of the City. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 2, 2026, the council body that handles airport commercial agreements. The committee scheduled the item for its September 11, 2026 meeting, meaning formal committee discussion is imminent. The matter remains open and awaiting committee action before it can advance to a full Council vote. The file carries a two-year administrative expiration date of September 8, 2028.
