US: Police evacuate part of Los Angeles International Airport's Terminal 1 late June 16 due to suspicious package

Event

Police have reportedly evacuated part of Los Angeles International Airport's (LAX) Terminal 1 as of late June 16 due to a suspicious package. Officers have evacuated all public areas up to the TSA checkpoint and placed the building on lockdown as they investigate. Roads leading up to the terminal are also temporarily closed.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely in the coming hours. Flight delays are possible after normal airport operations resume as airlines work to clear backlogs.

Advice

Reconfirm flights at LAX through at least early June 17. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed.
