John Wayne Airport

John Wayne Airport is an international commercial and general aviation airport that serves Orange County and Greater Los Angeles, in the U.S. state of California. The airport is located in an unincorporated area of Orange County, and it is owned and operated by Orange County. John Wayne Airport is surrounded by the cities of Irvine, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa; however, its IATA airport code is registered to Santa Ana, the county seat. Originally named Orange County Airport, the Orange County Board of Supervisors renamed the airport in 1979 in honor of actor John Wayne, who lived in neighboring Newport Beach and died that year. A statue of John Wayne was installed at the airline terminal in 1982. John Wayne Airport is the sole commercial airport in Orange County. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2023–2027 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport since it has over 10,000 passenger boardings per year. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 5,370,273 enplanements in calendar year 2024, an increase from 5,706,332 in 2023. In 2024, John Wayne Airport was the second busiest airport in the Greater Los Angeles area by passenger count with over 10 million total passengers. As of 2023, the largest airlines at John Wayne Airport were Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Alaska Airlines. In addition to the airline terminal, several facilities at the airport serve the general aviation and corporate aviation community. General aviation operations outnumber commercial operations. The only other general aviation airport in Orange County is Fullerton Municipal Airport. John Wayne Airport has two runways. The main runway, 2L/20R, at 5,700 feet in length, is the shortest runway in the United States that handles regularly scheduled international flights, and passenger jetliners operating from the airport have never been larger than the Boeing 757.
