Southwest plans full flight schedule at OIA

ONTARIO – (INT) – Southwest Airlines, which accounts for half of Ontario International Airport’s commercial flights, says it will return to a full flight schedule by the end of the year.

“This is great news for the aviation industry at a time when all of us need good news,” said Mark Thorpe, chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority. “The coronavirus pandemic led to decreases in passenger volumes by 90% or more virtually overnight and caused many to question whether recovery would come within years, much less months.”

In addition, Southwest says it will initiate new, non-stop service between Ontario and Houston on November 1st.
