Depends how you count, but the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside-Orange County Consolidated Metropolitan Area (CMSA), population 16,373,645 (2000 census), second largest in the U.S., has 6 airports with scheduled commercial jet flights: Los Angeles (LAX) Burbank-Pasadena (BUR) Ontario (ONT) Long Beach (LGB) Orange County (SNA) Palm Springs (PSP) An argument can be made for excluding PSP, but the others are definitely in the urban/suburban area. -- Michael C.
