Wapner, president, Ontario international Airport Authority Board of Airport Commissioners. “The addition of this daily nonstop service demonstrates the carrier's strong confidence in our facilities and amenities, and it is recognition of the increasing demand for air travel through our Southern California gateway.”
The nation's capital is easily accessible by rail from BWI, which is also a major connecting hub for Southwest.
