JWA Expects Influx of Holiday Travelers

The Fourth of July is still a few days away, but John Wayne Airport is expecting a boost in holiday travelers starting today.

According to JWA, passengers using the airport between now and Sunday, July 8 should be prepared for busier-than-normal crowds. Visitors to JWA throughout the July 4 holiday should also be aware of ongoing construction around the airport, exercise caution when navigating Airport roadways and follow posted speed limits.
