Flying Neighborly

Long Beach Airport (LGB) is an economic asset and integral part of the city. Balancing the benefits of the airport while respecting the neighborhoods in the surrounding communities is one of LGB’s key goals. Long Beach Airport’s ‘Flying Neighborly’ program is a community partnership that strives to be responsive to noise concerns and develop ways to keep pilots flying safely and responsibly. With the help of community members and local helicopter pilots, eight videos were produced to help educate individuals on how to minimize the impact of helicopter noise. Individuals that played a part in the production of the ‘Flying Neighborly’ videos were recently recognized at the Airport Advisory Commission meeting. Long Beach Airport Director Jess Romo thanked the individuals for their work with the 'Flying Neighborly' program. The educational helicopter videos are available on LGB's website. Flying Neighborly Videos
