The contractor for Los Angeles International Airport’s Automated People Mover (APM) train, LINXS, has filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) over ongoing disputes and project delays.

The lawsuit alleges that LAWA concealed information about delays, altered project plans, and created barriers to progress, leading to repeated postponements of the train’s completion.Originally slated for a 2024 launch, the project has been delayed multiple times due to disagreements over compensation and timelines.

Officials had hoped the train would be operational by the 2028 Olympics, but it remains unfinished, with testing ongoing without a clear completion date.

The lawsuit claims LAWA shifted blame to LINXS for issues like a 2025 power outage that delayed progress by 141 days, despite LAWA’s own responsibility.The APM, a $3.

3-billion project, is critical for improving traffic at LAX and connecting to Metro trains, but its delays have already cost LAWA hundreds of millions in settlements.

LAWA maintains it is committed to resolving the dispute and completing the project, which is essential for transforming the passenger experience at LAX.
