""It's so much more hassle-free," Artukovich told SFGATE. "The flights [at ONT] might be $50 or $100 more typically for the routes I was used to taking, but trust me, it's worth the convenience.""
"Ontario International Airport, the small San Bernardino County airport that's very much not in Canada, has been shattering even its own growth expectations in recent years. Until September 2025, it was on a 54-month hot streak of passenger growth, steadily adding more travelers in tandem with new routes to Boise, Honolulu and cities in Mexico. It expects a record passenger volume during the holidays this year, and the momentum is only projected to continue."
"The Inland Empire darling is already surpassing Burbank and Long Beach, on pace to hit 7 million passengers who traveled through ONT in 2025."

ONT expects record holiday passenger volume, is surpassing Burbank and Long Beach, and is on pace to handle about seven million passengers in 2025 as Inland Empire demand grows.
