The 2026 Strategic Goals and Objectives for Ontario International Airport (ONT) provide a blueprint for sustainable growth, aiming to deliver operational excellence and regional impact. The plan is anchored in three core goals: Mastering the Basics (driving operational excellence, safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction), Investing in ONT (strengthening infrastructure and partnerships to enhance the traveler experience), and Planning for the Future (positioning ONT for long-term growth through forward-thinking initiatives and innovation). It implements a performance-driven framework with measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to foster transparency, track progress, and support informed, data-driven decision-making across the organization.
