A new era for Columbus air travel

With a record 8.9 million passengers in 2024 and continued growth, our airport is busier than ever. But aging infrastructure requires a complete overhaul. Built in 1958, our current terminal has served us well, but it’s time for something new. This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a brand-new terminal built from the ground up to meet the needs of Central Ohio for decades to come.
