With Super Bowl LVI touching down in Southern California, Long Beach Airport (LGB) officials are expecting an increased number of travelers and charter aircraft activity on the days surrounding the championship game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 13.
As one of five commercial airports in the Los Angeles area, LGB anticipates increased activity in the days leading up to and following the 2022 Super Bowl, which economists expect to generate between $234 million and $477 million in economic benefits, including between $12 million and $22 million in regional tax revenue.
The busiest day at Long Beach Airport will most likely be the day after the event on Monday, Feb. 14.
To accommodate the extra travelers, LGB is working closely with the National Football League (NFL) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as airport concessionaire Paradies Lagardere and other airport tenants, to plan accordingly and maintain compliance with the airport’s noise ordinance.
Additional airfield parking spaces for visiting charter aircraft have been identified and made available.
Additionally, Paradies Lagardere will open a pop-up retail store for football fans in the garden area of the passenger concourse.
