But how am I going to know the white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone. ?

The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.

Is that just in LAX or everywhere? Cause that scene was still relevant in 2000s LAX

  • I've been in a lot of airports, not LAX, and I've never heard voice announcements about loading zones. Most airports just have separate directions for drop off vs parking, and since a terrorist attempted to ram-raid Glasgow airport, neither are near the terminal itself in a lot of cases.

    Interesting, the directors of Airplane! couldn't get actors with "authenticity" for the anouncers, so they hired the actual LAX announcers.
