State of the Airport

November 7, 2022

SBCTA was proud to support Ontario International Airport (ONT) at its State of the Airport event on November 1st, celebrating the aviation gateway’s sixth anniversary under local ownership. More than 400 guest attended the event, which showcased ONT’s impressive expansion of flights, destinations and customer amenities, its emergence as one of the Top 10 cargo airports in North America and its role as an economic driver across the Inland Empire and Southern California.

One highlight was the release of a research report showing ONT as an economic engine for Southern California, generating $3.8 billion a year in activity, supporting 27,800 jobs and serving as the hub of a global logistics network that produces $17.8 billion in economic output. Congratulations to the ONT leadership and staff for restoring the airport’s prominence as a driver for one of the fastest-growing population and economic centers in the United States.
