LA/ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT YEAR-TO-DATE PASSENGER VOLUME UP 4%
(Ontario, California – November 26 , 2014) Passenger numbers atLA/Ontario International Airport (ONT) rose 4.11% from January 2014 through October 2014, compared to the same period last year. ONT airlines served 3,422,524 travelers compared to 3,287,423 travelers during the same period in 2013. Passenger numbers were up 7.68% for the month of October, the largest increase this year.
“2014 is shaping up to be a good year for ONT,” said Jess Romo, Airport Manager. “We’ve taken great care to support the airlines and other businesses on the field so that as the economy improves, the financial environment here at ONT may foster continued growth. We also recognize the need to balance positive financial results with the equal need to make the airport experience as pleasant and relaxed for our travelers.”
International traffic continues to grow with International carriers, AeroMexico and Volaris, serving 71,705 passengers, a 66.4% percent increase over the same period in 2013. Both provide a total of seven nonstop flights each week between ONT and Guadalajara, Mexico. Volaris announced earlier this month that daily service to Guadalajara will be offered during the Holiday season, beginning December 17th and continuing at least through the end of the year.
“If we continue to see the healthy operations through the end of the year, we hope this provides an opportunity for carriers to reexamine market potential for increased service or new routes in the future. We also hope local and regional travelers will continue to support available service at ONT.”
ONT is located in the Inland Empire, approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the center of Southern California. It is a medium-hub, full-service airport with direct commercial jet service to 14 major U.S. cities and connecting service to many domestic and international destinations.
