What happened to Terminal 5
Terminal 5 is closed. LAX began winding it down on 21 October 2025 and it handled its last passengers a week later, on 28 October, once American Airlines finished shifting to Terminal 4. The building was demolished that November, so there is no checkpoint, no gate and nothing open inside it. Its three tenants moved out over that week: JetBlue to Terminal 1, Spirit Airlines to Terminal 2, and American to Terminal 4. A replacement is being built from the ground up on the same site as a combined Terminal 4/5 concourse, merging the two terminals' headhouses into a single 300,000-square-foot entrance with a post-security connection between them and on to the Tom Bradley International Terminal. It is not scheduled to reopen until 2028, before the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Anyone holding an older itinerary that lists Terminal 5 should check their airline's current terminal assignment, because none of it applies anymore.
