## Description

Twenty minutes separate Lunken Field (IATA: LUK, ICAO: KLUK) from CVG's DHL freighters, yet the two could hardly differ more: heavy cargo across the river, private jets here. Three miles east of downtown Cincinnati, Lunken was reputedly the world's largest municipal airport in the 1930s before the 1937 Ohio River flood — hence «Sunken Lunken» — and the postwar era pushed scheduled traffic up to Kentucky. Today it is purely a corporate- and general-aviation field handling around 32,000 operations a year, home to the business fleets of Procter & Gamble and Kroger alongside charter and flight training. There is no cargo handling; regional air freight moves through Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International (CVG).
