New Aviation Fuel Farm Under Way at Long Beach Airport

Long Beach Fuel Consortium Breaks Ground for New 200K Gallon Fuel Storage Facility

The Long Beach Fuel Consortium broke ground and began construction of the long awaited fuel storage upgrade project at Long Beach airport (LGB). In addition to solving a fuel supply issue this state of the art 200,000 gallon fuel storage facility was designed with convenience safety performance and the environment in mind.

"This facility will provide airlines a greater level of comfort due to the increased storage capacity at the airport." says Glenn Ray Managing Partner of the Consortium and President of Million Air Long Beach.

The new facility is designed with a Foam Fire Suppressant System which is unique to the airport. The entire footprint is enveloped with a perimeter fence providing added security. This new infrastructure has been designed to cater to the air carriers that have desired access to the Long Beach Airport but have long been concerned about the lack of fuel storage capacity.

"The facility represents a dual opportunity for the airport the airlines and the aviation industry." says Ray.

"We are very proud to be a part of this very important and long-overdue addition to the airport."

The storage facility is scheduled to be fully functional during the 1st quarter of 2004.
