Long Beach air cargo volume up 8pc as passenger traffic soars 25pc
AIR cargo traffic at Long Beach Airport was up eight per cent in October year on year, but year-to-date tonnage dropped seven per cent.
However, passenger traffic at the airport surged 25 per cent in October from the same month last year, according to airport officials.
Nearly 165,000 passengers boarded aircraft, and was led by a 32,000 increase in passenger count, or 33 per cent, in boardings for JetBlue Airways.
Increases are due to the City of Long Beach allowing nine more daily flights, bringing the total to 50.
Southwest Airlines received four of those daily flights, JetBlue three and Delta Airlines two. The airlines immediately put those new flight allotments to use, reported the Long Beach Business Journal.
