Terminals, Airlines and Destinations
The first major airline to fly into Port Columbus was TWA, and it kept a presence at Columbus over seventy years during the era of airline regulation. TWA offered a club for exclusive passengers up until 2000 when America West took over a gate held by TWA and the club itself due to financial problems.
Port Columbus International Airport was formerly a hub of America West Airlines in the 1990s, but the company closed the hub in 2003. America West eliminated the Columbus hub as result of financial losses at the hub, overall financial losses at the airline, and a weak airline market after September 11, 2001.
The airport was the home base of short-lived Skybus Airlines, which began operations from Port Columbus on May 22, 2007. The airline touted themselves as the cheapest airline in the United States, offering a minimum of ten seats for $10 each on every flight. Skybus ceased operations April 4, 2008.
Port Columbus International Airport has 3 airport terminals, which contain 44 gates total: Concourse A (gates A1 – A7), Concourse B (gates B15 – B18A, B18B, B19 – B30A, B30B, B31 – B34A, B35B, B35, B36), and Concourse C (gates C46 – C53A, C53B, C54 – C56).
