Facts on LAX

Did you know

LAX's code is a leftover of a simpler era: before the 1930s the airport was just "LA," but when the aviation industry expanded identifiers to three letters in 1947, "LA" simply had an X tacked on -- the X itself doesn't stand for anything.

LAX's iconic flying-saucer-shaped Theme Building was built in 1961 in the futuristic Googie architectural style and was formally dedicated by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson; it was later designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1992.
