John Wayne expansion plan gains airport commission approval
The Orange County Airport Commission voted 3-0 to back a John Wayne expansion, tied to an updated settlement with the community. The plan preserves 2035 noise curfews and limits changes for five years, with incremental passenger and jet flight increases possible after 2020 and 2026 respectively. Environmental concerns over fine particulate matter remain raised by residents and activists.
