Ontario International Airport announced Monday it was awarded $7,072,000 by the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Terminal Program to fund security and terminal upgrades, according to a news release. The enhancements will help manage increased traveler volumes and boost customer experience.

“The Southern California gateway pursued the funding to reconfigure existing security and checkpoint areas in Terminal 2 and Terminal 4 to accommodate additional screening lanes needed to effectively manage greater numbers of passengers who are choosing ONT,” the news release read. “The Security Screening Checkpoint Expansion Project will increase the checkpoint capacity by adding two screening lanes at Terminal 2 and one at Terminal 4, enabling officials to reduce congestion and increase passenger throughput by up to 15% during peak travel periods. The project also includes the construction of new secure area exit corridors and improves conditions for passengers with special needs.”
