## Description

A 5,700-foot main runway, curfews and the strictest noise rules in the country: John Wayne Airport (IATA: SNA, ICAO: KSNA) in Orange County operates under constraints few US airports know. Departing jets climb steeply and cut thrust over Newport Beach – a maneuver familiar to every frequent flyer here. Around twelve million passengers use the field each year, while air cargo plays virtually no role; freight for the region books through Los Angeles or Ontario, each under an hour away. General aviation adds one of the densest small-aircraft operations in the United States. In the terminal, the namesake greets travelers in person: a larger-than-life bronze of John Wayne, cowboy hat included.
