据洛杉矶商报报道，洛杉矶国际机场计划用电梯、自动扶梯和自动人行道将新建的价值27亿美元的自动旅客捷运系统（APM）和即将扩建的航站楼的各个楼层连接起来，而这仅是洛杉矶世界机场（Los Angeles World Airports）承包的价值3.36亿美元、建设7座航站楼的项目中的一部分。这次安装电梯设备的项目将耗费55亿美元，其核心是为了缓解机场内的人流拥堵，而APM的部分已经在今年早些的时候竞标出去了。此条APM线将通向三个地点，分别是一英里远的租车场，附近的一个地铁站以及中心航站楼。APM项目和航站楼的扩建项目都计划约在2023年竣工。

　　ELEVATORS, ESCALATORS PART OF LAX EXPANSION

　　Elevators, escalators and moving walks linking a new, US$2.7-billion automated people mover (APM) to various floors of expanded terminals at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are part of a US$336-million contract awarded by Los Angeles World Airports to Austin Commercial Inc. of Dallas to build the seven terminal extensions, the Los Angeles Business Journal reports. The centerpiece of a US$5.5-billion program to ease congestion at LAX, the APM was out for bid earlier this year. Both the APM, which will take travelers to three sites — a car rental facility about 1 mi. away, a metro station and the central terminal area — and terminal extensions are due for completion in approximately 2023.
