Passenger traffic at John Wayne Airport plunged nearly 65 percent last year, but despite the pandemic-induced turbulence, the flight hub managed to retain all its employees.

“John Wayne Airport is focusing on our budget and making cuts as necessary as our passenger numbers continue to remain low,” airport spokesperson Tricia Landquist told The Epoch Times Jan. 21. “All airport revenues… are down. However, no John Wayne Airport employees are being furloughed or laid off.”
