Brief

The Board of Airport Commissioners proposes a lease agreement with Worldwide Flight Services, Inc. for Building E on Service Road E at Los Angeles International Airport. The company will rent the facility for aviation-related ground services. The Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee approved the item on September 11, 2026, moving it forward in the legislative process.

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 6951 West Imperial Highway and Service Road E at Los Angeles International Airport, with an option to extend for one additional year. The Board approved the arrangement at its August 27, 2026 meeting by Resolution 28434, which also authorized the Los Angeles World Airports Chief Executive Officer, or a designee, to execute the lease on the airport's behalf. The Board notes there is no impact to the City's General Fund from this agreement. The Council is asked to take three actions: concur with the Board's determination that the lease is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Article III, Class 1(18)(c) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; approve the one-year lease and its associated building rental rate; and concur with the Board's authorization for LAWA's CEO to execute the agreement. The CEQA exemption reflects a standard finding for existing facility leases of this type. Worldwide Flight Services is an aviation ground handling company. The leased premises on Service Road E are in the operational service area of LAX, consistent with the company's role in airport ground operations. The file references three Board resolutions — 21636, 26717, and 28434 — indicating a prior leasing relationship between LAWA and Worldwide Flight Services that this agreement continues or updates. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 3, 2026, and the committee scheduled it for a hearing on September 11, 2026. No votes or further actions have been recorded beyond that scheduling. Full adoption would require an affirmative committee recommendation followed by a vote of the full City Council.
