The Long Beach Airport has been designated by the federal government as one of the sixteen gateway airports for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is the only gateway airport in California.
Beginning January 29m 2010, private aircraft heading to Vancouver from the U.S. must be cleared by the TSA at one of the gateway airports before going on to Vancouver. Long Beach's Airport's central location, general aviation facilities, and infrastructure made it a logical choice for the southwestern U.S.
Airport staff is working closely with federal agencies, Airport businesses and users to ensure that aircraft traffic during this time is handled efficiently.
