Decades of Fiscal Responsibility
For decades, John Wayne Airport has operated as a financially efficient and self-supporting aviation
facility that receives no general tax fund revenue. Our conservative fiscal policies, established by
the Board of Supervisors, made 2016 another fiscally sound year. Balanced by strong debt coverage
and well-managed expenses, JWA continues to enjoy a financial outlook that is positive and strong.
