Securing Long Beach Airport
Located just 18 miles southeast of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) lies a hidden gem for Southern California air travelers. Long Beach Airport (LGB), which serves more than 3.2 million passengers annually, has one of the strictest noise-abatement ordinances in the nation for its neighboring residential communities.
Forty-one daily commercial flights and 25 commuter flights provide a steady pace without the overwhelming crowds of the dominant airports to LGB’s north and south. JetBlue has established the airport as its West Coast hub, while US Airways, Alaska Airways and Delta Air Lines also provide carrier service. Air cargo carriers such as UPS and FedEx transport 57,000 tons of goods through LGB annually. The airport also is home to the production of the Boeing C-17 military transport jet, and maintenance facilities for Boeing, Gulfstream Aerospace.
Touted as one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world, LGB offers a large number of flights that include charter and private aviation, flight schools, law enforcement helicopters, advertising blimps and tow planes with advertising banners.
