Forty-one daily airline slots, allocated to the decibel: Long Beach Airport (IATA: LGB, ICAO: KLGB) operates under one of America's oldest noise ordinances, a cap that shapes everything. Southwest holds most slots, carrying three to four million passengers a year. Air cargo barely registers – the city's heavyweight logistics run through the Port of Long Beach, and air shipments book from Los Angeles or Ontario. The field's industrial pedigree is enormous: Douglas built bombers here, McDonnell Douglas the MD-80 series, and Boeing assembled C-17 airlifters until 2015; rocket builder Relativity Space now occupies part of the old factory land. The 1941 art deco terminal with its mosaic floors still anchors the passenger experience.
