The proposed "concourse 0" and "terminal 9" would add 21 domestic and international gates east of terminals 1 and 8, respectively, under the conceptual plans in the LAX Airfield & Terminal Modernization initial study that is due out today. The projects would replace existing remote bus gates on the west side of the airfield.
The facilities would "upgrade passenger processing capabilities and enhance the customer experience" in time for the Summer Olympics that Los Angeles will host in 2028, a spokesman for LAX operator Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) says.

LAX is the second busiest airport in the USA, seeing a 3.5% increase in passengers to 87.5 million in 2018, airport data shows. Only Atlanta, with 107.4 million passengers, was busier last year.
Passenger traffic continues to grow. LAX saw departing traveler numbers increase on average 6% annually from 2013 to 2018, as a result the operator has committed to $11.9 billion in upgrades through 2024. These include a new remote concourse, as well as a number of airline-led terminal upgrades.
“Modernization of airports is going on around the country, particularly in airports as important as LAX,” American chief executive Doug Parker said at the ground breaking of American's $1.6 billion upgrade to terminals 4 and 5 in October 2018. “We know the way to deliver the customer service we want to deliver in the future is to modernize the airport.”
Concourse 0 would be built on what is an existing parking lot east of terminal 1. The roughly 69,213m2 (745,000ft2) facility would include 11 new gates, resulting in a net increase of nine gates after a reconfiguration of the terminal.
“The renderings bring a tangible visualization of the promise of more access at LAX for Southwest and our customers," says a spokesman for Southwest Airlines, which is the main tenant in terminal 1, citing the current terminal 1.5 project. "[We] now look for new ways to thoughtfully and responsibly add service to answer demand.”

Conceptual rendering of concourse 0
The 12-gate Terminal 9 would rise east of Sepulveda Boulevard on land occupied by hangars and a regional concourse used by American. The 109,440m2 terminal would be connected by a bridge over the road to terminal 8, and include a new station on the airport's under construction automated people mover system.
Conceptual rendering of terminal 9
An American spokesman says the airline is working with LAWA on plans to relocate its regional facility that would be demolished to make room for terminal 9.
The report does not mention possible tenants for either facility. However, Southwest is a likely tenant for the concourse due to their location in terminal 1, and United Airlines executives have previously expressed interest in making terminal 9 a Star Alliance facility.
"We're going to wind up getting T9," United president Scott Kirby told LAX-based employees in September 2017.
United was immediately available for comment.

"Eu vou comer no "sopas dos Pobres" tudos os dias! Portugal e um pais pobre... ignorancia faz parte da minha cultura portuguesa!
PORTUGAL e uma merda e verdade e verdade! Nao trabalhos pa os Velhos e os Jovems...e verdade e verdade! E racismo puro e muito desgraciado!"
In my in depth research, I observed that Portugal is in fact the most racist place on earth; especially toward African blacks! It's as if they have never seen a black person before and the Portuguese culture is not only backwards (as if you steped in a time machine and went to the year 1899) but the citizens where exceptionally ignorant. It was as if you were talking to a wall rather than a human being. The Portugee also seemed to be trapped in another dimension of space and time because
they kept on talking and mumbling about the past rather than the present...it was pretty sad actually.
The racism today in Portugal and the xenophobic culture is not just promoted within, but exported to the host country where they may be living. Solely based on the evidence accrued, a social scientist may argue that Portugal seem to be experts in racism, especially in Canada and the U.S.
The portuguese economy is in the toilet, and droves of it's citizens are fleeing to neighboring Spain to work just to put food on the table! Those who don't go to Spain are swimming, or jumping on bannana boats to go to Angola or Mozambique just to sell their body for cod to feed their families. The slightly better off portugee are flying to Brasil to live in a favela that is much better than the poor, decrepid conditions they live in now; at least here they can eat.
I observed the portuguese to be an ignorant bunch stuck in a mental time-warp that only focus on "how" good things were in the distant past rather than focusing on their now deteriorated, non-existant economy, and how bad things really are today.
Perhaps, this is "why" they can't seem to see the log stuck in their eyes but see the splinters in everybody elses eyes. I do find it ironic that they are racist toward Spain, Angola, Mozambique and Brazil only to later go look for a better life in these countries!
***TIME TO BOYCOTT 100% THESE RACIST XENOPHOBES!***
DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY VISITING, BUYING PRODUCTS (WINE) AND EATING AT PORTUGUESE BUSSINESES! JUST THE FACTS FOLKS, AND MANY TENDER SNOWFLAKES (PORTUGUESE) "AVOID" THE FACTS IN LIFE!
ESPECIALLY GOOGLE THAT ALLOW RACIST/XENOPHOBIC COMMENTS MADE BY PORTUGUESE AGAINST SPAIN, ANGOLA, MOZAMBIQUE, BRAZIL ETC. WHY DO YOU CLEARLY ALLOW PORTUGUESE TO SPAIN-BASH FOR INSTANCE YET IT'S NOT OK FOR SOMEBODY TO DO THE SAME UNTO THE PORTUGUESE ON BLOGGER SITES, YOUTUBE ETC.? BUT, GOOGLE QUICKLY INVESTIGATE VIA moma inside google, SHUT DOWN THOSE SITES THAT SPEAK THE FACTS ABOUT PORTUGAL! WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD GOOGLE? READ SOME OF THE FACTS BELOW AND EDUCATE YOURSELF GOOGLE, SCARED?? OR IS IT EASIER FOR YOU TO MERELY SHUT DOWN SITES THAT "OFFEND" PORTUGUESE, BUT OK FOR PORTUGUESE TO OFFEND OTHERS???
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE RACIST/XENOPHOBIC GOOGLE SHOULD BE "SHUT-DOWN" PERMANENTLY!
