What Is the Columbus, Ohio, Airport Called?

It’s called John Glenn Columbus International Airport. The three-letter airport code is CMH. You might also hear “John Glenn International” or just “CMH,” and they all refer to the city’s main passenger airport.

Columbus also has two other airports in the metro area: Rickenbacker International Airport (code LCK), which is primarily cargo, and Bolton Field (code TZR) for general aviation. When someone says “the Columbus airport,” they almost always mean CMH.

If you see the older name Port Columbus International Airport, that’s the same facility. The state officially renamed it in 2016 to honor John Glenn.

When you’re booking or sharing flight details, choose CMH for Columbus.
