Measles exposure prompts health alert at LAX and Hilton after June flight

A traveler infected with measles on Cathay Pacific flight CX 884 on June 11 may have exposed passengers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel. The LA County Department of Public Health and the CDC are notifying people who sat near the infected traveler (Tom Bradley International Terminal, 10 a.m.–noon; Hilton LAX, 11:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m.), and those exposed could develop symptoms 7–21 days later, with July 2 as the last day to monitor. Health officials emphasize MMR vaccination as the best protection; this marks the sixth measles case in L.A. County this year.

LAX Automated People Mover Enters Passenger-Free Testing Phase

LAX Automated People Mover Enters Passenger-Free Testing Phase

LAX’s 2.25-mile Automated People Mover begins about 60 days of passenger-free testing with empty trains, running on the planned schedule while officials work through system integration and reliability checks. Before any riders board, the line must operate 24/7 for 30 days without issues; after that, additional testing and user-feedback rounds will follow. The $5.5‑billion project has faced delays since 2019 and ongoing disputes with contractor LINXS, pushing back a public opening, and while officials hope it will be ready for World Cup-related travel, no opening date has been set. The system is designed to ease airport congestion by linking terminals, parking, and pickup/drop-off zones.
