LAX’s SkyLink aims for October 2026 opening after years of delays and billions in overruns
The LAX Automated People Mover, SkyLink, is finally targeting an October 2026 opening after years of delays that inflated its price from about $1.9 billion to $3.34 billion, driven by a persistent legal dispute with contractor LINXS and a recent $880 million settlement; the six-stop, fully electric system would connect LAX to the Metro rail and reduce central-terminal shuttle trips, but experts warn the date isn’t guaranteed as costs and disputes continue.
