Lacklustre traffic performance at Los Angeles and Miami airports, but redevelopment continues

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) handled 5.0 million passengers last month, down 9% year-on-year, as international volumes remained depressed (down 15.9% to 1.3 million) and domestic volumes fell 6.5% to 3.8 million. In May-2009, international and domestic passenger numbers at LAX were down 20.3% and 8.2%, respectively, so the Jun-2009 results are somewhat of an improvement.
