Travellers drawn by new flights to international and East Coast cities
An additional 20,000 passengers are expected to fly through Ontario International Airport during 2018 winter holiday travel seasons, and they will be delighted by the exciting improvements that have come to the airport.
Beginning November 16, 2018 and concluding November 26, 2018 more than 162,000 air travellers are anticipated at ONT. This is an increase of 5% from the nearly 155,000 during the Thanksgiving holiday period in 2017.
According to airport data, 85% of available airline seats are expected to be filled. During the 18-day period from December 20, 2018 through January 6, 2019, it is estimated that nearly 258,000 passengers will travel through ONT, more than last year’s winter holidays when 245,000 air travellers chose Ontario.
The new non-stop flights to New York, Florida, and Taiwan in addition to the recent multi-million dollar upgrades to ONT’s dining and retail concessions are helping to attract more air travellers and provide a positive airport experience.
Ontario passengers will enjoy new food and beverage concessions including:
• Einstein Bros bagels • Rock & Brews restaurant • Wahoo's Fish Taco • Wolfgang Puck's WPizza
Retail concessions underwent a similar transformation with the addition of:
• Tech on the Go • Cali Market • HudsonPopular valet parking service was added at Terminal 2 in May for those who drive themselves to ONT. More recently, digital displays were added in arrival areas to show arriving flight and baggage claim information, which helps avoid confusion for passengers and greeters.
