Wells Fargo-Cv Heliport

Administrative data error and reclassification. The name 'Wells Fargo-Cv Heliport' is not officially recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The heliport at this location is officially the Los Angeles Convention Center Heliport (FAA: 7CA1). The 'Wells Fargo' name was likely a misattribution, confusing this site with the separate Wells Fargo Center Heliport (FAA: 2CL7) located approximately 1.5 miles away. The 'Cv' likely stood for Convention Center. The US-11159 entry was probably marked closed to correct this database error.

The physical heliport at these coordinates, the Los Angeles Convention Center Heliport (7CA1), is currently operational. It is registered with the FAA as a private-use facility, meaning landings require prior permission from the owner (City of Los Angeles, Dept. of Convention & Exhibition Center Authority). The site remains the rooftop of the convention center and is used for its intended purpose.

The physical heliport at this location is the Los Angeles Convention Center Heliport (7CA1). Located on the roof of the Convention Center's South Hall, it has been a significant asset for decades. Its primary function is to provide direct and secure air access for high-profile individuals, including VIPs, government officials, and corporate executives attending major events like the E3 Expo, LA Auto Show, and political conventions. It has also been crucial for news media helicopters covering events and for emergency medical transport, allowing users to bypass downtown Los Angeles's severe ground traffic.

Not applicable, as the physical heliport was never permanently closed. Operations continue under its official designation, 7CA1. The unofficial and erroneous designation US-11159 is not expected to be reactivated.
