With the influx of people heading to the city, the local airport is preparing its facilities with additional staff and infrastructure to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Hawthorne Municipal Airport in Hawthorne, California, is just two miles from SoFi Stadium where the game will be held, and it is expecting hundreds of additional planes to fly in.
According to Levi Stockton, who runs everything at the general aviation airport except the runways and taxiways, the event is preparing to handle 850-1,100 aircraft through Monday.
Everything from helicopters and small turboprop planes to the huge G650 private jet are expected to make an appearance. The planes will be handled by Stockton's aircraft service center, Jet Center Los Angeles.
Jet Center will provide fueling, aircraft parking, and any other essential needs for passengers and their planes.
"The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events to happen since the pandemic," he told Insider. "I think it is going to be a really exciting time for LA and this is the start of many more big events at the airport."
Stockton explained to Insider that the incoming planes are organized by a slot system that requires prior permission. Through Monday, the airport has five slots an hour, having added an extra 100 for the Super Bowl.
He explained that when people call in with the time they want to arrive or depart, they look and see what the closest available slot is for them. A majority of the operation will happen from Sunday to Monday, according to Stockton.
"We've never seen anything like this in Los Angeles," he said. "As an operator, we've flown into Super Bowls many times, so we're familiar with the slot system and how crazy it can be."
Another important part of organizing the operation is figuring out where the airport plans to park every plane coming in. To do this, Stockton told Insider that they have designed their own custom software that has the layout of the ramp and knows which space can fit each sized aircraft.
So, when the airport gets a call scheduling an arrival, the software will automatically know where to park the plane based on its size.
Because of the increased traffic, Stockton said the company has spent $100,000 dollars over the past year in preparation, including travel costs and hotel reservations for the additional 30 staff members it is bringing in for the event...
...extra fuel trucks...
...as well as a taco stand, a BBQ with a local restaurant, a DJ, and a large temporary tent for extra shade.
Overall, Stockton's company has 160 employees, 75 of which will be onsite working the Super Bowl traffic.
Stockton told Insider he is excited about the event because it is just the beginning of more to come.
"As an operator at the airport, we've never come anywhere close to how big this event is," he said. "It's pretty exciting, and we think it's the beginning of many more. We have the Olympics coming in 2028 and between now and then, we have more large events coming to the area, so it will be a good learning lesson."
