Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners submitted a lease agreement for Worldwide Flight Services to occupy Building 11001 at Los Angeles World Airports. The company provides ground handling and cargo services at the airport. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee approved the item on September 11, 2026, and the matter is now pending further Council action.

Full summary

The Board of Airport Commissioners is asking the City Council to approve a one-year lease with Worldwide Flight Services, Inc. for premises at 11001 Aviation Boulevard at Los Angeles International Airport, with an option to extend for one additional year. The Board approved the lease and its associated building rental rate at its August 27, 2026 meeting by Resolution 28437, and is also requesting that the LAWA Chief Executive Officer, or a designee, be authorized to execute the lease on the city's behalf. The Board has determined the action is exempt from CEQA review under Article III, Class 1(18)(c) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines. There is no impact to the General Fund. Worldwide Flight Services, Inc. is an aviation ground handling company that provides cargo and passenger services at airports. The specific rental rate and full operational terms of the lease are contained in attachments to the Board's submission but are not reproduced in the transmittal letter. The Board's recommendations to Council are threefold: concur with the CEQA exemption determination, approve the lease and rental rate, and authorize the CEO to execute the agreement. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 3, 2026, which oversees LAX real estate and airport-related commercial matters. The Committee has scheduled the item for its September 11, 2026 meeting — the next opportunity for substantive discussion and a potential recommendation to the full Council. No Council action has occurred to date; the file remains open and pending committee review.
