Columbus Metropolitan Airport

Columbus Airport is centrally located, with quick access to Uptown Columbus and an easy drive for West Georgia and East Alabama travellers. The airport prides itself on providing fast and efficient service, without long lines for security that would be experienced by passengers boarding in Atlanta. The Airport is located within minutes of Fort Benning, a self-sustaining military community in excess of 100, 000 military, family members, reserve component soldiers, retirees, and civilian employees. Columbus is a vibrant and growing community of 250, 000 people. Besides being the home of the best Army Installation in the World at Fort Benning, Columbus is the corporate headquarters of many of the United States' leading companies such as AFLAC Insurance, Carmike Cinemas, Char-Broil, Synovus, TSYS, and Tom's Snack Foods. Columbus Airport is served by Delta Air Lines and its ASA Connection (Atlantic Southeast Airlines ) and American Air Lines and its carrier American Eagle. Currently, there are 100, 000 arrivals and boardings annually. The Airport Commission was created by the state legislature, to oversee the development of the airport and its facilities. The Commission is composed of five (5 ) members, appointed by the City Council. The airport director supervises daily operations, and the commission's monthly meetings are open to the public.
