ONTARIO – (INT) – It’s international passengers who are driving growth at Ontario International Airport.

February brought a 188 percent increase in the number of international passengers compared to just a 1 percent change for the number of domestic travelers.

“Ontario continues to prove itself a viable international gateway in Southern California,” said Mark Thorpe, chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority. “While we might see minor fluctuations in domestic travel from time to time for reasons not unique to Ontario, international customers are choosing the ease of access, convenience and amenities.”

The summer travel season is expected to be busy at ONT since several major air carriers have announced new flights beginning in June.
