"The addition of Mandarin and Spanish-language content to our web site is another important step in the airport's evolution and our work to make Ontario even easier to navigate, especially for our international customers," said Mark Thorpe, chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority.

"As the fastest growing airport in the U.S., Ontario is always exploring new ways to interact with air passengers and adding languages that many of our customers speak to our web site will help tremendously. More travelers will have useful, easy to understand information available at their fingertips."

Mandarin and Spanish versions of the web site will be reviewed by individuals fluent in those languages, which will ensure that visitors receive understandable, user-friendly content.

Additionally, Spanish and Mandarin communications will extend to Ontario's social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Mandarin and Spanish-speaking customers will be able to send messages to Ontario's social media apps and receive responses in those languages.

The demand for communications in Mandarin has risen since the launch of daily China Airlines non-stop service between Ontario International Airport and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport last March.
