Local ownership probably won't help-but I hope it does

However I don't know how they are going to attract flyers from outside the IE (and they will have to in order to survive) to use ONT on a regular basis.

LGB (Long Beach) spent a lot of money fixing up their airport. It is the same drive time for me to LAX/LGB. I really hate LAX and yet I refuse to use LGB (unless it is a killer fare) because of the extortionate parking rates. If the fare is cheap enough I can justify it-but only for a short hop.

So Best of luck to Ontario. It is going to need it
