FRIENDS OF ONTARIO AIRPORT
Friends of Ontario Airport Website
The Friends of Ontario Airport is the first and oldest organization of its type in the world. Founded in 1963, the Friends was formed to promote the use and development of Ontario International Airport (ONT). This concept, to support a single air transportation center by individuals, business and civic leaders from throughout an airport's service area, had never been done before.
The Friends is a non-partisan nonsectarian organization that unites people from a wide spectrum of social and political diversity into an action group with a common bond dedicated to the development and growth of ONT for the benefit of all persons.
Among the Friends members are representatives from 39 communities in four counties. Such is the character of the organization that there are even members in Hawaii, Texas and other states. From elected officials and corporation executives to clerks and assemblyline workers, the Friends members possess an abiding interest in aviation. They are people who recognize the truly singular important role that air transportation plays in the life of individuals, the community and the nation in our modern society.
In the last 15 years, the Friends have taken a leadership role in informing citizens of the aviation services available at ONT, seeking additional air carrier service, advocating sound development plans, encouraging citizen support of their airport, and working with aviation industry officials toward the goal of making ONT one of the most convenient air transportation centers on the West Coast.
The Friends have sponsored such projects as the publication and distribution of flight schedules, position papers on airport development, airport information brochures, airport displays, a speakers bureau, and testimony at public meetings concerning ONT.
The Friends of ONT welcomes membership from all individuals and companies that share the organization's views on the essential need to support and promote the growth of ONT for the purpose of strengthening the air transportation system in Southern California.
Individual dues are $15 per year. Company and organization dues are $25 per year. For more information on joining the Friends of Ontario Airport, call (909) 975-5360.
