What our 30-day measurement shows
We measured Long Beach ourselves. Over 30 days, our own reception measurement logged the aircraft movements it picked up at LGB day by day, and that measurement averaged 33.4 movements per day. That is a 30-day mean, so a single quiet or hectic day barely moves it; it describes the normal level of traffic we receive from Long Beach, and it sits alongside the busy traffic level the airport carries in our records. The busiest window in that same measurement fell between 22:00 and 24:00, the two hours in which our measurement counted the most movements. One caveat: our measuring clock runs in UTC, so that window is a UTC pattern in the raw data, not a local Long Beach timetable.
Airlines in our Long Beach sample
Two carriers appear in our LGB sample, and the gap between them is hard to miss. Southwest Airlines dominates with 51 measured movements in 30 days, making it by far the most common airline our measurement recorded at Long Beach. Alaska Airlines turned up as well, though only 4 times in the same period, so the Long Beach sample is essentially a one-airline picture in our measurement. If your trip revolves around one specific carrier, the airline page is usually the quicker place to start than the full arrivals or departures page for the airport.
