Business aviation will increasingly power business innovation and economic growth in this community. The City of Long Beach, with the strong leadership of Mayor Richardson, Councilwoman Kerr, and Aviation Director Cynthia Guidry, has been an outstanding partner to Sky Harbour, welcoming Sky Harbour to what is already one of the nation’s largest and most dynamic business aviation markets.
