Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners submitted a lease agreement granting AGI Ground, Inc. the right to operate ground service equipment at Los Angeles International Airport on Taxilane B-1 and Service Road E. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee approved the item on September 11, 2026. The agreement now awaits City Council action. This type of lease is routine airport operational infrastructure for aircraft support services.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners is asking the City Council to approve a one-year lease with AGI Ground, Inc. for premises at 5720 Avion Drive, Taxilane B-1, and Service Road E at LAX. The lease covers space used for ground service equipment operations — the vehicles and machinery that service aircraft on the ground — and includes a one-year extension option. The Board approved the lease at its August 27, 2026 meeting by Resolution 28424, which also authorized LAWA CEO John Ackerman, or his designee, to execute the agreement on the city's behalf. The Board's recommendations to the Council are threefold: confirm that the lease is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under the Class 1 categorical exemption for existing facilities; approve the lease terms and associated building rental rate; and ratify the Board's authorization for LAWA's CEO to sign the agreement. LAWA has stated there is no impact to the City's General Fund from this lease. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 3, 2026, and the committee scheduled it for its September 11, 2026 meeting. The file remains open and pending committee action before it can advance to a full Council vote.
