It looks as if it may happen in August.

LAX becomes largest U.S. airport to allow Uber, Lyft pickups

Quote:

Despite protests by taxi drivers, Los Angeles airport officials agreed Thursday to permit ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft to begin picking up passengers at LAX, the largest airport in the nation to fully welcome the fast-growing, mobile app-based services.

The expanded operations could begin as early as late August, subject to final approvals by airport officials and the city attorney.
