“The addition of the Texas state capital to our route map is welcomed the news and further indication of confidence by Ontario International’s largest air carrier,” said Alan D.

The airport, which took a severe hit from the pandemic, also announced Thursday that passenger count last month was within seven percent of its count in August 2019.
