John Wayne Airport traffic slid in June, a decrease of 11.4 percent from last June. For the first half of 2008, the Orange County airport experienced an 8.3 percent drop in business when compared to 2007.
According to a USA Today study, JWA is projected to experience one of the biggest service declines in the nation.
The El Toro Info Site says part of the Orange County airport's drop in service is self inflicted. In January, the Board of Supervisors denied a request by Southwest Airlines to add flights this year. Instead, the Board cut the number of seats allocated to airlines by approximately 300,000 from the number they approved for 2007-08.
