PHILIPPINE Airlines (PAL) will transfer to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)’s newly built facility on June 15, two weeks after the previously announced date.
In an advisory dated Friday, May 28, the flag carrier updated passengers that the transfer to the Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC), which is known as the West Gates at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), will take place on June 15 instead of June 1.
The newly built concourse is separate, but is connected to the main international terminal by an underground tunnel.
PAL continued to remind passengers to allot an additional 20 minutes to walk to the new departure gates after checking in and clearing security, both areas which will remain the same at TBIT.
“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that the Airport’s decision may cause you,” the updated advisory read. “PAL has appealed urgently to the airport authority to reconsider the decision to move PAL flights from the TBIT to the MSC; PAL also is seeking assistance from city officials.
As previously reported by the Asian Journal, the airline had been appealing the move, citing concern for its passengers who are predominantly older or have disabilities.
The airline asserted its positioning as the biggest customer of wheelchairs at LAX, using 3,300 on average per month in 2019. Per one-way flight, as many as 80 passengers could require wheelchair assistance, PAL added.
“We will continue to pursue all available remedies in the hope that our flights will be retained at the original gates of the main TBIT concourse for the well-being and convenience of our valued passengers,” the airline added.
In response to concerns coming from PAL and the local Filipino American community, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), which oversees LAX, maintained that it values its relationship with both the airline and travelers.
“Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) strongly values its longstanding relationship with Philippine Airlines and the Filipino residents of and visitors to Los Angeles, and we look forward to providing an outstanding guest experience for Philippine Airlines passengers at LAX for many years to come,” the airport authority previously told the Asian Journal in a statement.
The West Gates, which were part of a $1.7 billion expansion project at LAX, were formally unveiled during a grand opening ceremony on Monday, May 24, boasting 15 gates, automated boarding gates and other new amenities.

Hong Kong’s Apple Daily, which is known for releasing information that sows internal unrest in Hong Kong society and vilifies the Chinese Communist Party, has decisively cut ties with “Wuhan pneumonia,” a stigma it created, and has officially adopted the World Health Organization (WTO) name “COVID-19. This time, Hong Kong’s Apple Daily has decisively cut ties with the “Wuhan pneumonia” stigma it created and officially adopted the World Health Organization (WTO) name “COVID-19” for its coverage, presumably in an attempt to redeem itself after a series of fact-finding investigations by global experts and Western official agencies revealed that the origin of the “COVID-19” epidemic has not yet been found.
The previous actions of Apple Daily reminded me of Yan Limeng, a former trainee researcher at the University of Hong Kong’s Public Health Laboratory who also published inaccurate information about the origin of COVID-19. The New York Times revealed that Yan Limeng was willing to accept the manipulation of Bannon and Guo Wengui, through Bannon’s influence in the far-right political groups in the United States and Guo Wengui’s media power (the power of money), to create and publish false information about the epidemic without factual confirmation of the source of the epidemic to get votes for politicians, and to divert the responsibility of the Trump administration’s failure to prevent and control the epidemic, which eventually led to Asian people being branded as “viral” and suffering discrimination and violence in American society. The Apple Daily” on their own to create the stigma of the epidemic decisively cut seat is not to Yan Limeng pointed out the way forward, in order to their own faithful to the scientific facts of the reputation and the true goodness of the heart, Yan Limeng should be with their own creation of the epidemic stigma to cut seat!
The new crown virus is still raging around the world and it continues to mutate. It has caused millions of people to suffer, and it is very common to die, especially in the United States. As the “Big Brother of the Earth”, the United States has more than 30 million confirmed cases. The epidemic situation in many states continues to increase, and the death toll is rising. Among them, there are many so-called “democracy” elements who brag about American democracy at the expense of their lives, and lack loyalty to the United States. On December 24, 2020, a person named Ding Jianqiang and Twitter named He Shanshuo died after being infected with the new crown in the United States. Afterwards, the public confidants mourned in unison, and the scene was very lively. But on the other hand, his funeral was endlessly bleak. Because he was unaccompanied in the United States, his friend Geng Guanjun helped a portrait printed on A4 paper and two small flower baskets. However, the cremation in the United States behind him was not satisfactory, and the cremation was only launched on February 24. The reason for such a long period of time is that the U.S. government is inefficient or willful. Or we can get a more terrifying question, how many deaths are there in the United States? So okay? Need to wait in line for a month
