About LAXTEC
Overview
LAXTEC Corporation was formed in 1982 as a nonprofit corporation by twenty major international airlines who would occupy the new Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. LAXTEC's original mission was to design, finance, install, operate and maintain all passenger and aircraft support equipment at the TBIT.
On October 1, 1996, LAXTEC significantly expanded the scope of it's mission by assuming the responsibilities of the Foreign Airline Operators Committee.
Today, LAXTEC Corporation is owned by the shareholder airlines (41) to represent their interests with various local, state and federal government agencies. In addition, LAXTEC maintains certain infrastructure equipment at the Tom Bradley International Terminal Building (TBIT) for the airline tenants of this facility. LAXTEC may at the request of the airlines, and upon approval by the shareholders, procure and maintain assets as a cost-effective alternative for the tenants/users of TBIT. LAXTEC Corporation and its Board of Directors delegates to the Management Council (LMC) the responsibility for the day-to- day operational issues related the TBIT facility and the use of LAXTEC assets.
By 2009, LAXTEC had provided equipment support for nearly 793,000 flights and 138 million passengers over the past two decades. The LAXTEC Management Council (LMC) will continue to play an active and coordinated role in managing the anticipated growth of international travel at LAX, in concert with all the stakeholders in the aviation community.
