Before
Disneyland-bound tourists book their flights, officials with Los
Angeles World Airports hope offers of fare rebates, shuttle rides on
area freeways and, perhaps, early admission to the theme park will be
enough incentive for them to choose Ontario International Airport.
In
a plan that may not be implemented until next summer and aims to shift
air travel to the Inland airport, a consultant to LAWA -- the Los
Angeles city agency that owns and operates Ontario and Los Angeles
International airports -- has proposed linking Ontario to Disneyland
both physically and through promotions with the theme park.
Peggy
Ducey, who was hired by LAWA more than three months ago to help boost
passenger traffic at Ontario, said the airport could serve as a
destination for Disneyland vacationers. At John Wayne Airport, 1.3
million of its passengers head to the Magic Kingdom and another 1.8
million come from LAX, she said. Most use public transit instead of
renting cars, she added. Read on>>>

Curt Pringle, Anaheim Mayor Addresses AirFair Forum
Anaheim
Mayor Curt Pringle spoke to local citizens September 12, 2008 about the
mass transit center at Anaheim and the high speed train connecting
Northern and Southern Califoornia. AirFair sponsored the meeting, third
in the organization's continuing series, “Alternative Means of
Transportation.”
Pringle, who serves on the California High
Speed Rail Authority, said that a mass-transit center hosting
high-speed trains and buses would help reduce the demand on John Wayne
Airport. Proposition 1A, passed by the electorate on the November
ballot asked voters to determine whether the state should sell $9.95
billion in bonds to begin constructing a bullet-train network
connecting Northern and Southern California. Mayor Pringle and
supporters of the Proposition say high-speed trains would be greener
and would be a less costly way to travel up and down the state. In
addition, it would be cheaper than expanding highways and airports.
High
gas prices and strict limits on the capacity of John Wayne Airport make
it the ideal time to push hard for alternative methods of
transportation because demand is growing fast, according to Pringle.
AirFair
believes that some sort of high-speed transit system that carries
passengers east to west and north to south in California could limit
the demand for John Wayne’s services not only by eliminating the need
for in-state flights, but also by transporting passengers to airports
like Ontario quickly and cheaply.
