It's a milestone year for our Columbus, Ohio airport A new name, impressive growth and a modernized terminal are high points for CMH in its 87th year of operation. Beginning with opening day July 8, 1929, the airport has been associated with numerous iconic aviators such as Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Jerrie Mock. And now our growing airport bears the name of John Glenn. The tribute is fitting for this decorated Marine combat pilot from Ohio. He was the first American to orbit Earth aboard Friendship 7 in 1962. He later served four consecutive terms in the U.S. Senate and became the oldest person to fly in space at the age of 77 when he lifted off on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Glenn piloted his own aircraft until he was 90; he turns 95 this month. Throughout his life, Glenn has received numerous aviation accolades, including NASA's Ambassador of Exploration Award in 2006 and a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama in 2012. Many more of his accomplishments can be found at this link. So now we are privileged to serve you as John Glenn Columbus International Airport, offering over 150 daily departures to 33 destinations on Air Canada, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, United and Vacation Express. While we transition to the new name throughout the coming months you'll still see signs of Port Columbus.
