The airline’s last flights out of LGB will depart on Feb. 28.
American Airlines will discontinue all service out of the Long Beach Airport, the company announced on Friday, Jan. 6, with the airline’s last flights set to depart from LGB in February.“We appreciate the great relationship we’ve enjoyed with American Airlines and understand their tough business decision during these challenging times,” said LGB director Cynthia Guidry in a Friday statement. “We look forward to welcoming them back to Long Beach in the future.
The airline will cease operations out of the Long Beach terminal on Feb. 28, the company said Friday, because the route is not meeting performance expectations. “We are proactively reaching out to customers with travel plans beyond Feb. 28 to offer alternative travel arrangements,” the airline said Friday.
Though American Airlines also shuttered service at three other airports across the country in 2022 due to a nationwide pilot shortage, the decision to end service at LGB is purely based on financials. “The reasoning is not operational performance,” American Airlines spokesman Derek Walls said Friday. “In this regard, it’s more so financial.”
