A wave of flight cancellations continued to affect LAX and other airports today due to growing concerns from the recent surge of COVID-19 cases. LGB has yet to cancel any flights.
Long Beach Airport will begin reconstructing a taxiway for departing commercial flights during the first week of January in an effort to bring LGB up to date with the latest Federal Aviation Administration guidelines.
