Long Beach, CA – The City of Long Beach released a Request for Proposals (RFP) today for the operation and management of three pre-security concession opportunities available at Long Beach Airport (LGB).
The rare concession openings at LGB are available as part of a $122 million Phase II Terminal Area Improvements program currently underway to make strategic pre-security enhancements. As part of that effort, two major components were completed in 2022, including the new Ticketing Lobby and Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) facility. A consolidated Baggage Claim opened this spring. Each project builds upon LGB’s status as a first-class gateway to Southern California, holding a special niche in the aviation industry with its easy access, sustainable facilities and welcoming feel for travelers.
The new concessions—businesses that sell consumer goods or services to the public under an agreement with the airport—are expected to open in 2024; however, concession operation start dates are negotiable and may depend on proposed or required facility improvements.
There are not currently any pre-security concessions at LGB. However, the airport has garnered praise for its post-security indoor-outdoor modernizations and local concessions that were part of a $100 million Phase I – Terminal Area Improvement Program completed in 2012.
The three distinct pre-security concession opportunities are:
LGB encompasses 1,166 acres and has three runways. It is unique among municipal airports for its diverse portfolio of Class A office buildings, hotels, retail, industrial facilities and a municipal golf course. Air carriers at Long Beach Airport—including Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines—currently offer service to 24 nonstop destinations around the nation, which is more nonstop service than at any time in LGB’s nearly 100-year history.
Proposal submissions for RFP Number AP-23-287 are due by 11 a.m. on Sept. 27, 2023. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the City’s Long Beach Buys portal.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
