The El Toro Info Site www.eltoroairport.org reports that this is the 10th straight down month for John Wayne Airport.

In January, the Board of Supervisors cut the number of seats to be allocated to airlines by approximately 300,000 in an ill-timed effort to keep the airport from reaching its negotiated limit of 10.3 million annual passengers.
