CMH Airport (John Glenn Columbus International Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

Nine million passengers a year and counting: John Glenn Columbus International keeps setting records, with Southwest, Delta, American, United and Breeze carrying the load. The airport took the name of astronaut and senator John Glenn, an Ohio native, in 2016. For freight forwarders, however, the Columbus story is a two-airport system: the Columbus Regional Airport Authority deliberately concentrates cargo at all-freight Rickenbacker (LCK), ten miles south, where Cathay Pacific, Cargolux, Emirates and Etihad freighters use twin 12,000-foot runways alongside Foreign-Trade Zone 138 and Air Cargo Terminal 1, Ohio's first dedicated cold chain for pharma air freight. CMH itself carries little more than domestic belly capacity. The wider region is one of the fastest-growing distribution markets in the Midwest, propelled by Intel's chip fabs in New Albany and the junction of Interstates 70 and 71. A roughly two-billion-dollar replacement terminal is under construction, due to open late this decade. Book passengers through CMH, book pallets through LCK – Columbus has organised itself so you never have to mix the two.
