An airport spokesperson confirmed to MTV that both men were charged with felony vandalism, with West's bodyguard also charged with battery, after an incident involving paparazzi.
A photographer's camera valued at $10,000 (£5,709) was broken during the scuffle.
The arrests were made before the rapper had cleared a security screening for an American Airlines flight.
"West and the other man are currently in custody with airport police," airport spokesman Albert Rodriguez told BBC 1Xtra.
"They're expected to be transported to Los Angeles Police Department's specific division where they will be booked."
