Mesa Airlines Faces Criminal Charges for Violating Long Beach Airport’s Noise Ordinance
An airline is facing criminal charges for allegedly violating the Long Beach Airport’s noise ordinance on 16 separate occasions in the past year, according to a criminal complaint filed by the city prosecutor’s office this week. The complaint — filed against Mesa Airlines and American Eagle on Wednesday, Aug. 14 — alleges that the airline violated the city’s ordinance on noise curfews 16 times from August 2018 to July of this year. This is the fifth time the city has prosecuted an airline for… (www.presstelegram.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Perhaps a flypast by a 2-ship of B-1B's from Dyess or Ellsworth AFB, at full 'burner. "yup, we may possibly have exceeded your absurd little limit" People? If you move next to an existing airport, you don't get to bitch about the noise of airplanes. "What? I didn't know airplanes made that much noise....I fell slighted. I must punish them" Unless they are running uncanned JT-8D's, CJ805's, Conway's or other early gen turbine, the majority of current gen 'fans should fall within acceptability. Or, Mesa could simply say 'Sayonara' and pack it in at Long Beach and send their service elsewhere.
Agreed. After all, the 2nd busiest west coast port is within 15 min of there. It's doubtful the cargo trucks coming and going at all hours make less noise.
Yeah..One of the busiest sea ports in the world that runs 24/7/365....And the city has a noise ordinance for the airport.....Pfft.
As punishment Mesa should just tell Long Beach to piss off and pull out of the airport...In fact, leave Long Beach without any scheduled service....

I’ve flown into Dyess and Ellsworth. Remote locations. Rapid City SD and Abilene TX. No comparison to LGB. The community of Long Beach could just shut it down. No problem. Perhaps the airport authority is trying to keep it open. Mesa had always been a bad player.
My response would be "Adios Long Beach"!!!
Perhaps the LGB airport authority is trying to prevent the airport from being shut down to commercial air travel by powerful people in the community. LHR was the worst in my career about noise violations and we followed strict guidelines as to approaches into London. LHR to JFK is the only $1B route on the planet and airlines don’t want to give it up or be fined. I want as many airports in California open as possible. SNA was the worst in CA. We flew a simulator training program for LHR and SNA. Airlines want to service CA airports. They are lucrative. Adios, BigFED.
