FlyAway is an airport shuttle service providing non-stop connections to and from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). As of 2025, service operates between LAX and two bus terminals located near Van Nuys Airport and Los Angeles Union Station. The service is managed by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), which also operates LAX and Van Nuys Airport, while daily operations are contracted to third-party bus operators. FlyAway is part of LAWA's ground transportation initiative to reduce traffic congestion and vehicle emissions by promoting high-occupancy vehicle travel. In 2024, LAWA reported that the FlyAway network carried more than 1.9 million passengers, eliminating an estimated 1.45 million individual vehicle trips.2

Products and brands

Currently, FlyAway buses serve the LAX Central Terminal Area (CTA) at eight stops, covering Terminals 1 through 7 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal. When SkyLink opens, FlyAway service will be shifted out of the CTA. Instead, buses will stop at dedicated bays on a new platform under construction by LAWA near the LAX/Metro Transit Center station. The change is intended to address recurring problems, such as buses reaching capacity before serving all terminals and delays caused by CTA traffic congestion. LAWA officials expect the new arrangement to improve service reliability, reduce travel times, and provide opportunities for future growth.

FlyAway buses do not accept cash payments. Tickets can be purchased with a credit or debit card at stations or online, and fares are also payable with a TAP card. Tickets for the Union Station route are additionally available at Metrolink ticket vending machines at all train stations, including Union Station. Metrolink monthly pass holders may ride the Union Station route free of charge with a same-day airline ticket.
