Southern California Airports Accelerate Terminal Expansions Ahead of 2028 Olympics

With the July 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games approaching, airport operators across Southern California are racing to finish major infrastructure overhauls. The Games are expected to create unprecedented passenger surges that will strain gate availability, baggage handling, and security checkpoints. To prevent gridlock on aprons and in concourses, regional hubs are speeding up capital expansion programs designed to boost terminal throughput before the opening ceremony. These projects aim to accommodate the heightened traffic without compromising operational efficiency or passenger experience during the high‑profile event.
