Ontario Airport Continues Streak of Y-O-Y Gains in Passenger Volume
The number of air travelers through Ontario International Airport (ONT) grew by 9% year-over-year in February, extending its run of Y-O-Y increases to 36 consecutive months, airport officials announced. The airport accommodated 413,413 domestic passengers and 36,480 international fliers last month, for increases of 5.7% and 68.3%, respectively.
“February proved to be another positive month for Ontario International as we extended our streak of consecutive months with higher passenger volume,” said Atif Elkadi, CEO of the Ontario International Airport Authority. “The numbers speak for themselves and are further evidence that ONT continues to be the airport of choice for Southern California.”
The strong start to 2024 continues Ontario’s track record since its return to local ownership in 2016. It was the first airport in Southern California to exceed pre-pandemic passenger levels and in 2023 posted its highest volumes since 2008.
