The airport is well situated halfway between the major business and tourism areas of both Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Currently, there are over 200 businesses located on airport property, including nearly 100 acres of mid-rise business park and hotel uses, several top-rate fixed base operators, and specialty aviation service companies, as well as Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft service centers.

Presently, Long Beach Airport covers 1,166 acres and has five runways, the longest being 10,000 feet. It is a hub of corporate activity as well as being one of the world’s busiest airports in terms of general aviation activity. Scheduled airlines also provide passenger and cargo service.

Owned and operated by the City of Long Beach, the Airport is an important part of the Long Beach community. The Airport is proud to be the partner of two Long Beach Unified Schools, Burcham Elementary and Burroughs Elementary. The Airport’s volunteer tour program offers an invaluable learning experience. Each year, these tours give thousands of children and adults the opportunity to explore a major aviation transportation, manufacturing, and business center, which contributes significantly to the local economy.
