Rumor: LAX Growth Announcement This Week (including LAX-HKG)

This has been mentioned elsewhere, but certainly significant enough that it's worthy of it's own conversation.

Rumor/speculation is that there will be an announcement, possibly Thursday, regarding AA expanding operations at LAX. The highlight route will be daily service to Hong Kong on the 77W, but other routes will also be included. I would think AA might also make public its plans to takeover LAX's Terminal 5, now that Delta has made public its plans to leave T5/T6 for T2/T3.

AA will be re-configuring Terminal 4 to go from 13 to 15 gates. Work starts next month and will be complete in early summer.

AA will also add five gates (four widebody and one narrowbody) at Tom Bradley. They are for AA's use exclusively before 11am, and shared after 11am. Tom Bradley will be connected within security starting mid-2016 through the new T4-TBIT connector.
