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.
