The Missing Connection is a community initiative dedicated to demonstrating demand for nonstop air service between Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) and John Wayne Airport (SNA).

​

Every year, many many thousands of Central Valley residents travel to Orange County for business meetings, family visits, medical appointments, college tours, vacations, cruises, and world-renowned attractions. Today, those trips require exhausting, long drives that add unnecessary time and inconvenience.

​

Major airlines ALREADY operate from both Fresno and John Wayne Airport. By gathering support from residents, businesses, and organizations throughout the Central Valley, we're helping demonstrate the level of demand airlines consider when evaluating potential new routes. The Fresno Metro area encompasses over 1.36 million people waiting for the connection between Fresno and Orange County. 

​

This campaign isn't just about adding another flight—it's about making travel more accessible, strengthening economic connections, supporting local businesses, and giving families more time together.

​

Together, we can help make nonstop service between Fresno and Orange County a reality.
