History edit

The Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center was established on March 15, 1937, being the fifth ARTCC established in the United States. The Los Angeles ARTCC was originally located in Burbank. In 1943, it was moved to Downtown Los Angeles on 7th Street and Flower Street. In 1946, it was again moved to just south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Inglewood on Manchester Boulevard. On March 1, 1963, the Los Angeles ARTCC was moved to its present location in Palmdale on 25th Street East and Avenue P, being located adjacent to United States Air Force Plant 42 and the Palmdale Regional Airport.[1][2]

Operations edit

The Los Angeles ARTCC controls 177,000 square miles (460,000 km2) of airspace over southern and central California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, and western Arizona.[1] It controls airspace from the surface up to FL600 (60,000 feet). Around 40 percent of the ARTCC's airspace is composed of special use airspace (SUA) which is used by the United States Armed Forces.[2] The ARTCC's airspace is divided into six areas, simply named Areas A through F.[3]

As of 2019, the ARTCC employs over 500 people,[1] 320 of whom are air traffic controllers.[2] As of 2019, Lisa Jones is the acting air traffic manager.[4] The United States Department of Homeland Security provides security for the ARTCC.[5]

The Los Angeles ARTCC is the 10th busiest ARTCC in the United States. Between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, the Los Angeles ARTCC handled 2,271,937 aircraft operations.[6]
