Airport Overview
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the primary airport for California’s Inland Empire, about 38 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles. For travelers based in Riverside, San Bernardino, or the eastern LA suburbs, ONT is far more convenient than fighting traffic to LAX.
ONT has two passenger terminals (Terminal 2 and Terminal 4) connected landside, with a growing roster of domestic and international destinations. It’s one of the fastest-growing airports in the country, with shorter lines and easier parking than the coastal airports.
If your trip centers on the Inland Empire or the eastern side of greater LA, flying into ONT can save an hour or more of driving compared with LAX.
Serves: Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, Inland Empire, Eastern LA County
