Mysterious Military Operation Diverts Flights Into LAX For a Week


Flights paths into LAX have recently been altered, but the reason remains a mystery. ABC News 7 reports:

Mysterious maneuvers over the Pacific are forcing a change in Los Angeles International Airport landings late at night, meaning noise for thousands of people in the flight path.

Instead of landing from the east over Inglewood, planes begin flying from the west and over the ocean to keep noise levels down, but due to secret military operations, the airspace over the Pacific is closed to incoming flights for the next week.

“We clearly understand that neighbors and communities east of the airport will experience noise and we apologize for that,” said Nancy Castles, LAX public relations director.

The military is not saying what exactly is causing the change, and LAX claims it’s also in the dark. Castles said all they know is planes can’t be flying at low altitudes to our west.

What could the maneuvers be about? Its anyone’s guess at this point.

Planes usually fly over the ocean to keep noise levels down, but due to the airspace over the pacific being closed to incoming flights for the next week, planes will have to take more circuitous routes.

Apart from adding on extra minutes to the duration of flights, those living on the ground in areas that are not usually affected by airport noise will have to endure the sounds of low-flying aircraft for the next week.

The entire operation is shrouded in mystery with airport officials claiming that even they are in the dark over exactly what is planned and why its usual airspace is off-limits.

The miliary will also not saying what exactly is causing the change.

“We clearly understand that neighbors and communities east of the airport will experience noise and we apologize for that,” said Nancy Castles, LAX public relations director said to ABC7.
