Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners has requested Council approval for a lease agreement between Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and Worldwide Flight Services Inc. for property at 6040 Avion Drive on LAX grounds. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee approved the item on September 11, 2026. The file is now pending Council floor action. The underlying lease terms and specific business purpose are not detailed in the activity log.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners, at its August 27, 2026 meeting, approved a one-year lease with Worldwide Flight Services Inc. for premises at 6040 Avion Drive at Los Angeles International Airport, with an option to extend for one additional year. The lease covers a set building rental rate for the specified space, though the precise dollar figures are not included in the transmittal document. Los Angeles World Airports confirms there is no impact to the City's General Fund from this agreement. The action was authorized by Resolution 28436, which also empowers the LAWA Chief Executive Officer, or a designee, to execute the lease on the City's behalf. The Board is asking the City Council to take three actions: 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 rental rate; and concur with the Board's authorization for the LAWA CEO to sign the agreement. The CEQA exemption determination reflects staff's conclusion that the lease involves use of an existing building and does not trigger environmental review requirements. The file was submitted to the City Council on September 2, 2026, and referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee the following day. The committee scheduled the item for its September 11, 2026 meeting, marking the next substantive step in the approval process. No committee vote has yet been recorded. The file remains open with an expiration date of September 8, 2028.
