Other Capital Projects
Passenger Boarding Bridges
As part of John Wayne Airport’s ongoing effort to maintain facilities and related structures throughout the Terminal Complex, new passenger boarding bridges were installed at all 14 gates in Terminals A and B to replace the original boarding bridges that have been used by millions of passengers for nearly 20 years. The new, fully enclosed and carpeted bridges, through which passengers walk from the Terminal onto the aircraft, will match the boarding bridges that will be installed at six new gates in Terminal C, which is scheduled to open in late 2011.

General Aviation Shade Structures
As part of John Wayne Airport’s commitment to its roots, the Airport values its General Aviation services and is constructing new Shade Structures as part of its Capital Improvement program. Current General Aviation tiedown areas are unsheltered to the elements. By building permanent shade structures at the Airport, this will provide an option for private aircraft owners and operators to park their airfcraft in a more protected environment.

Airside Dock Access and North Trash Compactor
A new facility was constructed at the north end of the airfield, along the fence line that runs parallel to the 405 freeway. This facility, also known as the north trash compaction center, replaces the landside trash compaction center previously located at the south end of the airfield. The relocation of the trash facility was required in order to close down the south trash facility, which was situated on the site of the new Parking Structure C.
