About JWA

Volunteer Tour Guides

John Wayne Airport partners with community volunteers to offer additional services to our travelers and to members of the community.

The Airport’s Tour Program started shortly after the Riley Terminal opened in 1990. Currently, JWA’s 10 trained Tour Guides provide tours to students, foreign visitors, scout troops, at-risk youth and many others.

These terrific volunteers, many of whom have decades of experience in the field of aviation, educate tour participants about JWA’s history as well as provide fun, interesting and useful facts about the Thomas F. Riley Terminal.

Within the region, JWA is one of only two airports which offer public tours free of charge.
