Delta Air Lines yesterday launched its daily non-stop service between its hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and Ontario International Airport (ONT).
The arrival from Atlanta, the world’s busiest airport, was scheduled at 10:21 a.m. (PDT). The inaugural flight for ONT was scheduled to depart at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).
Atlanta is the 21st destination reachable by nonstop commercial service from Ontario.
Delta has also announced a second ONT-ATL roundtrip beginning June 17. The ONT-ATL route is served with Boeing 737-800/900 aircraft.
“We’re thrilled that our customers now can enjoy direct service to Atlanta, giving us another important nonstop destination on the East Coast,” said Mark Thorpe, Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA). “We thank Delta for helping to make ONT the fastest-growing airport in the U.S.”

Passengers can also access the Escape Lounge in Terminal 2, a premium lounge which began welcoming guests in January. In addition, app-based ride hailing services including Uber and Lyft were added to ONT’s ground transportation program last year.
