Employee Wellness

In 2016, a total of 1,250 employees participated in the annual Health Fair & Employee Appreciation Day at LAX; 248 at ONT; and 51 at VNY.
Energy Management
Total Building Energy Consumption
(Million kBTUs)
Green - Electricity
Blue - Natural Gas
LAWA equipped all LAX passenger gates with plug-in power and pre-conditioned air. Parked planes do not need to use auxiliary power units, which consume jet fuel. This improvement is more energy efficient and minimizes air quality impacts at LAX.
LAWA currently has 60 publicly available EV charging stations at its various parking lots at LAX and will install more than 50 new chargers before the end of 2017.
