The airport covers 1,741 acres (705 ha) and has two parallel runways.[2][4] It is the West Coast air and truck hub for UPS Airlines and is a major distribution point for FedEx Express. As of September 2018[update], ONT has more than 64 daily departures and arrivals.[5] Since Ontario's longest runway (runway 8L/26R) is longer than three of the four runways at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), it is an alternate landing site for large aircraft destined for LAX.[6]
