CDC Mask Mandate Effective 2/1/2021

Federal law requires wearing a mask at all times in and on the airport and failure to comply may result in removal and denial of re-entry. Refusing to wear a mask in or on the airport is a violation of federal law; individuals may be subject to penalties under federal law.

La ley federal de los Estados Unidos requiere el uso de mascarillas (barbijos) en las partes internas y externas del aeropuerto; el incumplimiento de esta ley puede resultar en la expulsión del aeropuerto y el re-acceso al mismo. Negarse a usar mascarillas (barbijos) en partes internas o externas del aeropuerto es una violación de la ley federal. Personas que se nieguen a usar mascarillas (barbijos) podrán ser penalizadas bajo esta ley.

So much has changed at ONT but your health & safety has always been and still remains our top priority. As your gateway to & from Southern California and your airport of choice, we strongly urge you to practice our new guidelines for the cleanliness of your journey and others. ONTo What Matters Most.

ONT CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDELINES

  • To protect yourself and others, travelers, guests and employees are required to wear masks at Ontario International Airport. By the mandates of the State of California and County of San Bernardino masks are required to be worn in our airport. Airlines also require masks to be worn at their gates and on the aircraft. 
  • How to properly wear a mask? Place it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. For more info from The CDC, click here.
  • Forgot your mask? ONT has Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) vending machines located on both floors of each Terminal where you can purchase masks, gloves, sanitizers, and more to keep you clean & safe during your travels.


  • Restrooms and hand sanitizer stations are located on every floor of all ONT Terminals and buildings.


  • You touch so many surfaces when you travel so it is very important to keep your hands away from your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.


  • Here are 5 steps to follow every time you wash your hands:
    1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
    2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
    3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
    4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
    5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
  • Avoid close contact with other guests or staff at the airport. The CDC recommends maintaining a six (6) foot distance between yourself and others that you are not traveling with.


  • To indicate six feet (2 meters) for social distancing, floor and seat decals have been placed throughout ONT and especially in crowded areas like baggage claim, security checkpoints, and airline gate spaces.


  • Plexiglass partitions have been installed at airline ticket counters, information desks, shops, and restaurants to provide a barrier when proximity may be compromised


  • Seating has been removed from restaurants and allowed capacity has been reduced by as much as 50% in some locations to ensure social distancing can be practiced while you enjoy your meal

As of November 23, 2020, ONT partners with Covid Clinic to provide a testing site that is open daily in Parking Lot 3. Find out more information or book an appointment here: https://flyont.news/covidclinic
