Ontario to Regain Control of its Airport

Agreement Ends Years of Dispute between Los Angeles and Ontario

It could take upwards of a year to complete the process, but the announcement on Thursday that Los Angeles has agreed to relinquish control of the Ontario International Airport made headlines throughout California. Ontario Mayor Pro Tem Alan D. Wapner, who also serves as the President of the Ontario International Airport Authority, and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti made the announcement together during a news conference at the Ontario Airport. The Ontario International Airport Authority will take control once the Federal Aviation Administration, the two cities' respective city councils, and cities' airport agencies formally approve the transfer.
