Capital Improvement Program
Progress is Happening at John Wayne Airport, Orange County! The Airport has embarked on a substantial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to modernize, upgrade and keep our facilities in excellent operating condition for years to come. The phased CIP includes new baggage handling systems, elevators, escalators, lighting, and signage; improvements to parking structures and taxiways; and more electric vehicle charging stations.
Throughout the duration of construction, guests will notice improvements taking shape in and around the Riley Terminal. This webpage will be a source for detailed information about each project as it occurs, construction impacts, and timelines.
We don’t anticipate any delays for travelers during construction, but you are encouraged to plan ahead and arrive 90 minutes prior to your flight departure to ensure an easy and stress-free travel experience. If you should have any questions, you may contact us at:
