Santa Ana, CA –
John Wayne Airport established a new record high for monthly passengers
last month as 872,271 travelers utilized the Airport for their
summer travel plans during August. The number represents a passenger
increase of 3.2% over last August’s traffic counts. Commercial
flight operations increased by 8% in August, however total operations
saw a 4.3% decrease.
“It really has
been a remarkable summer travel season with July and August both
establishing new record highs for passenger levels” said John Wayne
Airport Director Alan Murphy. “The August numbers cap off the busiest
summer on record at John Wayne.”
Increased passenger
levels are a product of the new capacity allocations set forth
in the Amended Settlement Agreement between the County of Orange,
the City of Newport Beach, and two community groups. The Amended
Settlement Agreement, which went into effect on January 1, 2003,
raised the Airport’s passenger cap from 8.4 million annual passengers
(MAP) to 10.3 million. John Wayne Airport is a self-supporting
enterprise, owned and operated by the County of Orange.
