Occasionally, larger aircraft that the airport is not used to receiving on a regular basis, such as the Boeing 767 and 777, are chartered through John Glenn and serviced by Lane Aviation. Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], many new, current, and to-be-expanded routes were canceled or reduced. Air Canada temporarily suspended service to Columbus, while airlines such as United, American, and Delta used smaller aircraft for some of their mainline routes. Many of these routes saw an increase of service in mid-2021 as restrictions lifted and demand for air travel grew. Startup [[Breeze Airways]] also selected Columbus as one of its launch destinations in July with five routes. Plans have been in development for many years for a new terminal, set to begin construction in 2024 to replace the current, aging building, beginning with the new car rental facility completed in 2021As such, these plans involve a complete relocation of major on-site facilities, such as Lane Aviation's entire complex, in order to accommodate the project. The new terminal is suggested to house roughly 40 gates, 6 more than the current terminal capacity (2 of which intended for international arrivals), and would be one interconnected structure rather than three separate concourses inaccessible to each other past security. ==Facilities== [[File:Port Columbus International Airport aerial view 02a.jpg|thumb|The airport in 1987, predominantly as it stands today]] [[File:John Glenn International Airport Flight Information Board.jpg|thumb|Main flight information board at the entrance to Concourse B]] ===Terminal=== John Glenn Columbus International Airport has one terminal with three concourses, and a total of 34 gates.<ref name="CMHMap">{{cite web |title=Terminal Maps |url=https://flycolumbus.com/at-the-airport/terminal-maps |website=Flycolumbus.com|access-date=13 March 2021}}</ref> Non-precleared international flights are processed in Concourse C, which contains the airports customs facility. *'''Concourse A''' contains 7 gates,<ref name="CMHMap" /> and is used primarily by [[Southwest Airlines]]. *'''Concourse B''' contains 16 gates,<ref name="CMHMap" /> and is used primarily by [[American Airlines]], [[Air Canada]], [[Spirit Airlines]], and [[United Airlines]]. *'''Concourse C''' contains 11 gates,<ref name="CMHMap" /> and is used primarily by [[Alaska Airlines]], [[Breeze Airways]], [[Delta Air Lines]], and [[Frontier Airlines]]. ===Ground transportation=== The airport is accessible directly by taking exit number nine on [[Interstate 670 (Ohio)|Interstate 670]] to International Gateway. Alternatively, drivers can also get to the airport from the east via Hamilton Road, just south of [[Interstate 270 (Ohio)|Interstate 270]], and enter at Sawyer Road or from the west via Stelzer Road. Connected to the terminal is a six-story parking garage that provides long-term and short-term parking. Lower cost satellite parking options, with continuous free shuttle service, can be found in the Blue, Red and Green parking lots along International Gateway. The Blue lot is the closest to the terminal and also offers some covered parking. The cost of parking a car in the blue lot is $9 per 24 hours. The Red Lot costs $7 per 24 hours and the green lost costs $5 per 24 hours to park. The Green lot is the furthest away from the terminal.

The Convair recovered and landed, though the nose gear collapsed on landing. The Beechcraft crashed short of the runway, killing two on board. The probable cause was attributed to a "traffic control situation created by the tower local controller which he allowed to continue without taking the necessary corrective action. A contributing factor was the failure of both crews to detect this situation by visual and/or aural vigilance."<ref name="convair">{{cite web| url = http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19540627-0| title = ASN Aircraft accident description Convair CV-240-0 N94263| publisher=Aviation Safety Network| year = 1954| access-date =November 13, 2007}}</ref> *On January 7, 1994, [[United Express Flight 6291]] was a [[BAe Jetstream 41]] being operated by [[Atlantic Coast Airlines]]; it was on approach to runway 28L when it entered into a stall at {{convert|430|ft|m}} above runway level. The aircraft collided with a stand of trees and came to rest inside a commercial building {{convert|1.2|mi|km}} short of the runway and burst into flames. The accident killed all three crewmembers and two of five passengers. The probable cause was attributed to "(1) An aerodynamic stall that occurred when the flight crew allowed the airspeed to decay to stall speed following a very poorly planned and executed approach characterized by an absence of procedural discipline; (2) Improper pilot response to the stall warning, including failure to advance the power levers to maximum, and inappropriately raising the flaps; (3) Flight crew experience in 'glass cockpit' automated aircraft, aircraft type and in seat position, a situation exacerbated by a [[Side letter (collective bargaining)|side letter]] of agreement between the company and its pilots; and (4) the company's failure to provide adequate stabilized approach criteria, and the FAA's failure to require such criteria. Member Vogt concluded that the last factor was contributory but not causal to the accident. Additionally, for the following two factors, Chairman Hall and Member Lauber concluded that they were causal to the accident, while Members Vogt and Hammerschmidt concluded they were contributory to the accident: (5) The company's failure to provide adequate crew resource management training, and the FAA's failure to require such training; and (6) the unavailability of suitable training simulators that precluded fully effective flight crew training."<ref name="jetstream">{{cite web| url = http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19940107-0| title = ASN Aircraft accident description British Aerospace BAe 4101 Jetstream 41 N304UE| publisher=Aviation Safety Network| year = 1994| access-date =November 13, 2007}}</ref> ==See also== {{Portal|Ohio|Aviation}} * ''[[Brushstrokes in Flight]]'' ==References== {{Reflist|30em}} ==External links== {{Commons category}} *[https://web.archive.org/web/20051229055745/http://cmh.natca.net/ National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) CMH Local] *[https://flycolumbus.com/ John Glenn Columbus International Airport] (official site) *[https://flycolumbus.com/flights/flight-status Real-Time Flight Information for John Glenn Columbus International Airport] *{{FAA-diagram|00094}} *{{US-airport|CMH}} {{Transportation in Columbus, Ohio}} {{Authority control}} {{good article}} [[Category:Buildings and structures in Columbus, Ohio]] [[Category:Transportation in Columbus, Ohio]] [[Category:Airports in Ohio]] [[Category:Airports established in 1929]] [[Category:John Glenn|Columbus International Airport]] [[Category:Transportation buildings and structures in Franklin County, Ohio]] [[Category:1929 establishments in Ohio]]'
