Long Beach Airport (IATA: LGB, ICAO: KLGB, FAA LID: LGB), also known as Daugherty Field, is located in Long Beach, California, and serves Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The airport has four smaller runways and one long runway for jets (10,000 ft.), plus nine taxiways, and occupies 1,166 acres. It was formerly known as Long Beach Municipal Airport.

Long Beach Airport has very little service compared with the dominant Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) approximately 18 miles (29 km) to the northwest, and will always remain a relatively small airport due to ordinances adopted to minimize noise in the residential neighborhoods near LGB. The airport is under one of the strictest ordinances in the United States on both airport noise and the number of commercial flights. The current noise levels allow for a maximum of 41 daily commercial flights and 25 commuter flights. Local community groups and activists are very vocal about any changes at the airport.

Home of the Boeing 717 and Military C17 Aircraft plants.

Some of the airlines that use LGB are: Alaska Airlines, Delta Airlines, US Airways and JetBlue.
