In addition to the loss of ExpressJet and JetBlue, a faltering economy and higher airfare prices are keeping many people from taking to the air at Ontario.

Due to the high Santa Ana winds, all runways and taxiways were closed at the Ontario Airport on Monday.

The gushing winds started at least one fire in Orange County who forced more than 70,000 people to evacuate and fueled the spread of a brush fire in Yorba Linda.

As of now there are no changes in flights, no delays or cancellations, according to the airport's spokesperson, Steve Lambert. 

Flights are currently being delayed or diverted to other airports.
