Being a Good Neighbor

STAYING ENGAGED AND NURTURING
GOODWILL IN OUR COMMUNITY

We love our location in Orange County—and the people
in it. That’s why we work so hard to nurture meaningful
relationships with local travelers, residents and businesses,
while respecting curfews, promoting sustainability and
being a conscientious member of the community we’ve
been part of for the past 100 years.

2024 SNAPSHOT

01 CONTINUED THE CONVERSATION
ON NOISE MITIGATION

We hosted the Federal Aviation
Administration’s (FAA) quarterly Western
Service Area Noise Forum, where Executive
management, along with FAA
representatives, took part in a one-day
meeting to discuss pertinent issues
surrounding Airport noise mitigation.

02 PROMOTED JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR
THE CONTRACTING COMMUNITY

We planned and executed Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Industry Day to
raise awareness within the contracting
community, especially Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises (DBEs), about CIP
projects and how to bid on them. It was a great
success with nearly 200 people attending.

03 ENGAGED LOCAL RESIDENTS
WITH AirACADEMY

We completed the Spring and Fall sessions
of JWA AirACADEMY—a unique,
interactive seven-week experience to
improve residents’ and stakeholders’
understanding of Airport history, programs,
initiatives and operations. 90% of
participants rated the program 5 out of 5.

04 GREW OUR
JWA FAMILY

We transitioned 40 staff members from
OCPW to JWA Maintenance. The
Maintenance division is responsible for
planning, organizing, and implementing
strategic actions for building and airfield
repair and maintenance, and management
of our central utility plant.
