Long Beach Airport concludes centennial celebration with new slogan and time capsule

To celebrate its centennial year, Long Beach Airport introduced pop-up pickleball courts near the Historic Terminal. These courts are part of a partnership with the City of Long Beach's Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine and will be available throughout the holiday season.

Airport Director Cynthia Guidry emphasized that their new slogan promises travelers a fun experience at LGB. “We might be 100 years old, but I like to say we don’t look it," she said.

The new slogan coincides with significant growth at Long Beach Airport, which recently broke multiple passenger traffic records. Upgrades include a new Ticketing Lobby, Checked Baggage Inspection System facility, consolidated Baggage Claim area, roadway loop improvements, solar canopies, and restoration of the Historic Terminal building.

A study revealed that Long Beach Airport Complex generates $9 billion in economic output and supports nearly 42,000 jobs regionally. It hosts over 800 businesses spanning aviation to technology sectors.
