About Ontario International Airport

Overview

Ontario International Airport serves the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, positioned in San Bernardino County, California. As a large airport situated at 944 feet above mean sea level, KONT provides critical commercial and cargo aviation services for the Inland Empire region. The airport's strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a significant transportation hub in Southern California.

Flying Conditions

Southern California's climate offers generally stable weather conditions with minimal precipitation and consistent visibility. Pilots can expect moderate temperature variations and typically clear skies, though occasional marine layer influences from coastal systems can impact morning visibility. The airport's elevation at 944 feet MSL provides relatively straightforward atmospheric conditions for most flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial concrete runways: 08L/26R at 12,198 feet and 08R/26L at 10,200 feet, providing extensive operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its geographic positioning near the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges presents potential wind gradient and terrain interaction considerations for approaching and departing aircraft. The airport's coordinate location at 34.056000, -117.600998 places it within a complex regional airspace system.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientations of 08/26 suggest predominant west-southwest wind patterns typical of the region. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods. The substantial runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft, from regional commuters to larger commercial and cargo platforms, enabling versatile approach and departure strategies.
