Serving The Business Community
The airport serves the rapidly expanding north outerbelt of Columbus, as well as the new commercial centers in Worthington, Dublin, and Hilliard.
Nationally, the Airport serves as a vital link between the central Ohio business community and their principal destination. Businesses benefit from a brief two-hour flight to 60% of the nation's population, 60% of the nation's manufacturing, and 60% of the nation's purchasing power.
Based on a recent study, the OSU Airport is estimated to contribute roughly $103.6 million annually to the region's economy through direct and indirect means. Direct impacts include the payroll of airport personnel, revenues and taxes received through the sale of aviation fuel and pilot supplies, and revenues generated by the leasing of airport property. Indirect impacts are generated when airport users visit local restaurants, stay at local hotels, and rent cars for off-airport travel.

“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
