T5 is closing on November 1st.

When asked about the current airlines at T5, LAWA said that:

1. Jetblue is going to Terminal 1
2. Spirit will check in at Terminal 2 and fly out of MSC South
3. American will "fly more out of TBIT"

A couple other interesting points:
1. In response to a question the LAWA CEO said it is "not yet decided" whether the incumbent airlines will return to T5 when it is complete.
2. In mid-2027 they will determine if the project is on schedule enough to complete in time for the olympics, if it is not on schedule they will switch to a Plan B and only open 5 gates, instead of 15, in time for the Olympics.
