Remember When:

• Last year, JetBlue abdicated some flight slots at the Long Beach Airport.

• JetBlue exit from Long Beach was also a reaction to the City's changed the rules for 'usage of flight slots and signaled it may crack down on JetBlue for failure to comply' per the Gazette.

• In 2017, the Long Beach City Council voted down a proposal that would have allowed the airport to conduct international flights.
