## Description

Modest on passengers, mighty on freight: Ontario International Airport (IATA: ONT, ICAO: KONT) handles around seven million travelers but roughly 800,000 tons of cargo a year – 2025 brought another 5.3 percent gain, driven by surging US mail volumes on UPS. The carrier runs its West Coast hub here, joined by FedEx and Amazon Air stations. The setting explains the numbers: the Inland Empire around Ontario is North America's largest warehouse and distribution market, fed by the I-10/I-15 junction and the BNSF and UP intermodal ramps in nearby San Bernardino. Operations run 24/7 with no night-flight restrictions – a rarity in Southern California. Since 2016 the airport has been back in local hands after decades under Los Angeles control, a change widely credited for its current momentum. For shippers weighing LAX against ONT, the rule of thumb holds: international belly capacity at the coast, integrator speed inland.
