圣贝纳迪诺县定每年11月1日为「ONT日」：安大略机场回归地方管辖十周年，年客流已逾700万
位于加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺县安大略市的安大略国际机场（ONT）10月21日发布，圣贝纳迪诺县监事会已宣布把每年11月1日定为「ONT日」，纪念该机场回归地方管辖十周年。机场于2016年11月1日正式回归地方管辖；州第53选区众议员 Michelle Rodriguez 与州参议员 Susan Rubio 也在州层面推动了相应决议。
机场管理局（OIAA）董事会主席 Ronald O. Loveridge 说：「那一天改变了安大略国际机场的轨迹，在许多方面也改变了内陆帝国本身。最初的大胆努力，把一项重要的区域资产收回地方手中，如今已成为南加州的一个成功故事。」OIAA 首席执行官 Atif Elkadi 说，地方管辖给了这个地区塑造自身未来的机会，ONT日表彰的是相信这座机场的人们，以及持续推动它前进的员工、伙伴与社区成员。
自所有权转移以来，ONT 的国内与国际航线显著扩展，全球物流枢纽地位加强，旅客体验获全国认可。年旅客量已从2016年的约420万人次增长到如今的700多万人次；机场活动的经济产出在地方管辖下增长78%，其支撑的就业岗位增长72%。机场将于11月6日在「机场现状庆典」上庆祝地方管辖十周年。
安大略国际机场由安大略市与圣贝纳迪诺县的联合权力协议机构安大略国际机场管理局拥有和运营，年旅客量超过700万人次，提供直飞美国、墨西哥、中美洲与台湾的二十多个主要机场的航班，并被 J.D. Power 评为最受欢迎的中型机场第二名。
San Bernardino County Proclaims November 1 as ONT Day Marking a Decade of Local Control
Ontario International Airport (ONT), in the City of Ontario, San Bernardino County, California, announced on October 21 that the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has proclaimed November 1 of each year as 'ONT Day,' honoring the airport's return to local control a decade ago. The formal return to local control took place on November 1, 2016. Resolutions were also advanced at the state level by 53rd District Assemblymember Michelle Rodriguez and State Senator Susan Rubio.
'That day changed the trajectory of Ontario International Airport and, in many ways, the Inland Empire itself,' said Dr. Ronald O. Loveridge, president of the OIAA Board of Commissioners. 'What began as a bold effort to return a vital regional asset to local control has become one of Southern California's great success stories.' OIAA Chief Executive Officer Atif Elkadi said local control gave the region the opportunity to shape its own future, and that ONT Day recognizes the people who believed in the airport and the employees, partners and community members who continue to move it forward.
Since the transfer of ownership, ONT has significantly expanded domestic and international air service, strengthened its position as a major global logistics hub and earned national recognition for its passenger experience. Annual passenger volume has grown from approximately 4.2 million in 2016 to more than 7 million today; ONT's economic output has increased 78% under local control, and the number of jobs supported by airport activity has grown 72%. The airport will celebrate its Decade of Local Control at its State of the Airport Gala on November 6.
ONT is owned and operated by the Ontario International Airport Authority, a joint powers agreement between the City of Ontario and San Bernardino County. It serves more than 7 million passengers per year and offers nonstop service to more than two dozen major airports in the U.S., Mexico, Central America and Taiwan, and was ranked the second most popular mid-sized airport by J.D. Power.
