Long Beach Airport, Regional airport in Signal Hill, California, United States.
Long Beach Airport is a regional facility in Long Beach that handles commercial and private flights on three runways of different lengths. The site includes passenger terminals, maintenance hangars, and refueling stations arranged across the grounds.
The site opened in 1923 and quickly grew into an important aviation hub in southern California. During the Second World War, both the Navy and Army Air Forces used it for military operations before it returned to civilian use.
The facility takes its name from the nearby coastal stretch that shapes the city's identity. Travelers experience a relaxed California style with art installations from local artists displayed throughout the terminals.
The grounds lie near several major roads and can be reached through different access points. Visitors will find parking areas near the terminals, and those picking up passengers should follow signs for short-term parking zones.
Since 2016, the facility has cut its carbon footprint by 38 percent through rooftop solar panels and other environmental programs. These measures make it one of the greener airports in the region.
