|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario International Airport | ONT | 5 km (3 mi) | 12,197 ft | 944 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,197 ft, ONT can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 944 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
