The airport covers 1,700 acres (6.9 km²) and has two runways. It is the second major international airport in the area after Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LA/Ontario International Airport is typically less crowded than LAX; according to Forbes.com it is one of the five best alternate airports in America. It is the West Coast air and truck hub for UPS and is a major distribution point for FedEx Express. LA/Ontario International Airport also serves as a hub for the independent operations of ExpressJet Airlines, which began service to 14 destinations in April 2007.



Thanks to Ontario's long runways (runway 8L/26R is longer than any of those at LAX), it is often used as an alternate landing site for large aircraft when LAX is inaccessible due to weather conditions or other reasons. It is a particularly important alternate airport since there are many trans-Pacific flights headed to LAX which may not have enough fuel left after the long journey to reach other major airports. However, due to Ontario's relatively small customs facilities and limited options for connecting flights, such rerouted flights typically do not disembark passengers in Ontario. Instead, the airport is usually used to refuel the aircraft, which then take off again for a short flight to LAX once landing conditions there have improved.

The airport is located approximately 38 miles (61 km) east of Downtown Los Angeles and 22 miles west of downtown San Bernardino. Motorists can either use the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10), Ontario Freeway (Interstate 15), or the Pomona Freeway (State Route 60) to access the airport. It is also served by local buses and by private shuttles, though most passengers drive or are picked up at the airport.

By the end of 2006 Ontario International Airport was renamed to LA/Ontario International Airport in order to entice travelers from the already over-trafficked Los Angeles International Airport and also to reduce confusion with Ontario, Canada. LA/Ontario Airport is owned by the City of Los Angeles (LA World Airports)
