Port Columbus saw a slight increase in passenger traffic during 2010:
From The Dispatch:
Port Columbus activity up slightly in 2010

BY MARLA MATZER ROSE
The Columbus DispatchPort Columbus was slightly busier last year than the year before, with 2 percent more passengers. A total of 6.36 million passengers used the airport last year, compared to 6.23 million in 2009, but the increase failed to bring totals back to pre-recession levels.
The local increase mirrors the national trend toward a slow rise in passenger traffic.
From Business First:
Port Columbus closes 2010 with 2% gain; 1st increase since 2007

Last Modified: Friday, January 28, 2011, 4:00pm ESTPort Columbus International Airport kept the pace – just barely – with a busy month of December traffic, helping the airport finish 2010 with its first increase in activity in three years.

Hopefully the positive passenger traffic trend continues at CMH through 2011. New scheduled service slated to start this year so far include new weekly service by Delta and AirTran/Apple Vacations to Cancun and new daily nonstop service on Southwest to Denver.
In addition, hopefully Rickenbacker can reverse the cargo totals trend and bring in some more freight flights to increase cargo traffic.
January 29, 2011 2:14 am at 2:14 am #404403Also new to the Columbus Regional Airport Authority…an updated website! The new supersite is a significant improvement over the old homepage for the airports, especially the expanded Rickenbacker website.

Are they still starting construction on the new Terminal soon? I remember reading it was supposed to start sometime this year or early 2012 but all development has been removed from the new site.

Friday, February 11, 2011
BY MARLA MATZER ROSE
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCHMaybe it’s the effect of the crowded planes or the security pat-downs, but people are drinking more when they fly. While passenger numbers at Port Columbus inched up 2 percent last year, alcohol sales during the fourth quarter at airport restaurants rose nearly 13 percent. In contrast, food sales were up a more modest 7 percent.

Two destinations CMH could use and zero direct competition.
They are doubling and perhaps trippling their fleet in the next few years, the cities that are aggressive will land them.

Business First
Date: Monday, February 21, 2011A competitor of Columbus’ airports has put together a 30-year development plan that outlines the creation of a so-called “aerotropolis†that could include air and ground cargo facilities, freight-related businesses, conference centers, hotels and offices.
The plan released by Indianapolis Airport Authority, which runs six airports in the midsize city 175 miles west of Columbus, lays out how the airport will develop and profit from the land it owns. It also details plans for partnerships with Indianapolis-area economic development groups.
