Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that approval of the first amendment to an existing 10-year lease with Virgin Atlantic to amend and restate the Early Termination Options section of its lease for LAX Terminal 2 premier passenger lounge space will have no financial impact on LAWA’s budget or the City's General Fund.
