'''Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport''' {{Airport codes|CVG|KCVG|CVG}} is a public [[international airport]] located in [[Hebron, Kentucky]], [[United States]]. It serves the [[Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area|Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area]]. The airport's code, CVG, comes from the nearest major city at the time of its opening, [[Covington, Kentucky]].<ref>{{cite web|title=MTM Cincinnati: Why Is Cincinnati Airport In Kentucky?|url=https://eviljwinter.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/mtm-cincinnati-why-is-cincinnati-airport-in-kentucky/|website=Edged in Blue|publisher=Edged in Blue|accessdate=30 December 2015}}</ref> CVG covers an area of 7,000 acres (28.3&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>). CVG is the only airport in [[Indiana]], [[Kentucky]], or [[Ohio]] that features nonstop service to Europe. The airport's international destinations include [[Cancún]], [[Freeport, Bahamas|Freeport]], [[Montego Bay]], [[Paris]], [[Punta Cana]], and [[Toronto]]. The airport is the busiest in Kentucky and the second busiest serving an Ohio metropolitan area.
 
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is the second smallest domestic hub for [[Delta Air Lines]] and plays host to the headquarters and main maintenance base for [[Delta Private Jets]]. The airport is the largest base for [[Allegiant Air]] that is not a vacation destination, largest market for [[Vacation Express]], and the 8th largest market for [[Frontier Airlines]]. In addition to a rapidly diversifying list of passenger airlines, CVG is the fastest-growing cargo airport in North America. It is one of three global hubs for [[DHL Aviation]] and [[DHL Express]], ranking 6th in North America and 34th in the world for total cargo operations. The airport is headquarters and hub for [[Southern Air]], which operates flights around the world for DHL Aviation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fastest growing cargo airport in North America|url=http://www.lanereport.com/59185/2016/01/cvg-experienced-6-6-passenger-growth-in-2015/}}</ref> The airport offers [[Non-stop flight|non-stop]] passenger service to 56 destinations with 186 average daily departures.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nonstop Cities|url=https://www.cvgairport.com/flight/cities|accessdate=20 January 2016}}</ref>
 
==History==
President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] approved preliminary funds for site development of the Greater Cincinnati Airport February 11, 1942. This was part of the [[United States Army Air Corps]] program to establish training facilities during [[World War II]]. At the time, air traffic in the area centered on [[Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport|Lunken Airport]] just southeast of central Cincinnati.<ref name="detailed">{{cite web| title=Detailed History| url=http://www.cvgairport.com/about/history2.html | publisher=cvgairport.com |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204233340/http://www.cvgairport.com/about/history2.html |archivedate=December 4, 2010 |accessdate=October 31, 2013}}</ref> Lunken opened in 1926 and was located in the Ohio River Valley. Due to its location, the airport frequently experienced fog, and the [[Ohio River Flood of 1937|1937 flood]] completely submerged its runways and two-story terminal building.<ref name="Stulz">{{cite web|title=Lunken Airport|first=Larry|last=Stulz|work=Cincinnati-Transit.net|date=February 14, 2008|url=http://www.cincinnati-transit.net/lunken.html}}<!-- Includes photo originally from: http://www.nkyviews.com/boone/boone682.htm --></ref>  While federal officials wanted an airfield site that would not be prone to flooding, Cincinnati officials hoped to build Lunken into the premier airport of the region.<ref name="flood">{{cite news| title=Flood sank Lunken plans| url=http://cincinnati.com/blogs/ourhistory/2010/12/28/flood-sank-lunken-plans/ | publisher=Cincinnati.com| work=Cincinnati Enquirer-Our History| author=Steve Kemme| date=December 28, 2010 |deadurl=no |accessdate=October 31, 2013}}</ref>
 
A coalition of officials from Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties in Kentucky took advantage of Cincinnati's short-sightedness and lobbied Congress to build an airfield there.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eviljwinter.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/mtm-cincinnati-why-is-cincinnati-airport-in-kentucky/|title=MTM Cincinnati: Why Is Cincinnati Airport In Kentucky?|work=Edged in Blue}}</ref>  Boone County officials offered a suitable site on the provision that Kenton County paid the acquisition cost. In October 1942, Congress provided $2 million to construct four runways.<ref name="detailed"/>
 
The field officially opened August 12, 1944, with the first [[Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress|B-17 bombers]] beginning practice runs on August 15. As the tide of the war had already turned, the Air Corps only used the field until 1945 before it was declared surplus. On October 27, 1946, a small wooden terminal building opened and the airport prepared for commercial service.<ref name="detailed"/>
 
The first commercial flight, on an [[American Airlines]] [[DC-3]] from Cleveland, Ohio, landed at the airport January 10, 1947, at 9:53&nbsp;am. A Delta Air Lines flight followed moments later.<ref name="DeBlasio">{{cite news| title=Cincinnati's Century of Change: Timeline |author=Donna M.

===Jet age===
On December 16, 1960, the jet age arrived in Cincinnati when a Delta Air Lines [[Convair 880]] from Miami completed the first scheduled jet flight. The airport needed to expand and build more modern terminals and other facilities; the original Terminal A was expanded and renovated. The north–south runway was extended {{convert|3100|to|8600|ft|m|abbr=on}}. In 1964, the board approved a $12 million bond to expand the south concourse of Terminal A by {{convert|32000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} and provide nine gates for [[TWA]], American, and Delta.<ref name="detailed"/> A new east–west runway crossing the longer north–south runway was constructed in 1971 south of the older east–west runway.
 
===Comair hub===
In 1977, before the Airline Deregulation Act was passed, CVG, like many small airports, anticipated the loss of a lot of flights; creating the opportunity for Patrick Sowers, Robert Tranter, David and Raymound Muller to establish [[Comair]] to fill the void. The airline began service to Akron/Canton, Cleveland, and Evansville.
 
In 1981, Comair became a public company, added 30-seat turboprops to its fleet, and began to rapidly expand its destinations. In 1984, Comair became a [[Delta Connection]] carrier with [[Delta Air Lines|Delta's]] establishment of a hub at CVG. That same year, Comair introduced its first international flights from Cincinnati to Toronto. In 1992, Comair moved into Concourse C, as Delta Air Lines gradually continued to acquire more of the airlines stock. In 1993, Comair was the launch customer for the Canadair Regional Jet, which it would later operate the largest fleet in the world. By 1999, Comair was the largest regional airline in the country worth over $2 billion, transporting 6 million passengers yearly to 83 destinations on 101 aircraft. Later that year, Delta Air Lines acquired the remaining portion of Comair's stock, causing Comair to solely operate Delta Connection flights.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nonstop Performance Since 1977|url=http://www.departedflights.com/OHnonstop99.html|website=Departed Flights|publisher=Comair|accessdate=29 December 2015}}</ref>
 
===Enterprise Airlines hub===
In 1988, two founders of Comair, Patrick Sowers and Robert Tranter, launched a new scheduled airline from CVG named [[Enterprise Airlines]], that served 16 cities at its peak. The airline spearheaded the regional jet revolution and used 10-seat business jets in scheduled service. The flights became popular with Cincinnati companies. The airline served destinations including Baltimore, Boston, Cedar Rapids, Columbus (OH), Green Bay, Greensboro, Greenville, Hartford, Memphis, Milwaukee, New York–JFK, and Wilmington (NC).<ref>{{cite web|title=Enterprise Airlines|url=http://www.departedflights.com/BE060390.html|accessdate=28 December 2016}}</ref> The airline also became the first international feed carrier by feeding the British Airways Concorde at JFK.  In 1991, the airline ceased operations  because of high fuel prices and the suspension of the British Airways contract after the first Gulf War.
 
===Delta hub===
[[File:Comair CRJ.JPG|thumb|CVG-based Comair [[CRJ-100]] landing at Cincinnati with Cincinnati Jet Hub Livery]]
In the mid-1980s, Delta created a hub in Cincinnati and constructed Terminal C and D, with 22 gates. Delta built the CVG hub in order to gain a presence in the Midwest, after it had stuck to the southern United States for so long. It was chosen because the city had many Fortune 500 companies, and because many midwestern cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and St. Louis already had large hubs. In 1992, Delta made Cincinnati its number two hub and spent $500 million constructing Terminal 3 with Concourse A and B, in addition to adding a $50 million Concourse C for Comair. Also, another $350 million was used to expand and construct four much longer runways. During the 1990s, Delta operated a lot of mainline flights out of the airport, however during the late 1990s, ramped up Comair's operations, and established [[Delta Connection]]. This dramatically increased the aircraft operations from around 300,000 to 500,000 yearly aircraft movements. In turn, passenger volumes doubled within a decade from 10 million to 20 million. This expansion prompted the building of runway 18L/36R and the airport began making preparations to construct Concourse D, while adding an expansion to Concourse A and B. At its peak, CVG became Delta's second-largest hub, handling over 670 Delta and Delta Connection flights daily in 2005.<ref name="Yamanouchi" /> Delta served over 130 destinations with over 450 connection and 220 mainline flights in 2005. During this time, it was the fourth largest hub in the world for a single airline, based on departures, ranking only behind Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas.<ref>{{cite web|title=New Delta hub plan in wings|url=http://enquirer.com/editions/2002/12/14/biz_hubprofit14.html|accessdate=15 February 2016}}</ref> The hub served everything from the 64 mile CVG-DAY, to a daily non-stop to Honolulu and Anchorage, to numerous transatlantic destinations including Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, London–Gatwick, Munich, Paris–Orly, Paris–Charles de Gaulle, Rome, and Zürich.<ref name="Why CVG lost half of all flights">{{cite web|title = Why CVG lost half of all flights|url = http://archive.cincinnati.com/article/20100524/EDIT03/5230393/Why-CVG-lost-half-all-flights|accessdate = 2015-05-28}}</ref> Delta was also planning on launching Asia service to CVG, beginning with [[Beijing–Capital]], then expanding to [[Tokyo–Narita]] and [[Shanghai–Pudong]] eventually, however launch plans were delayed in 2002 due to slot restrictions and eventually stopped after the bankruptcy in 2005.<ref>{{cite web|title=Traffic Available to Support Asia Flights|url=http://airlineinfo.com/ostpdf20/70.pdf|publisher=Delt Air Lines|accessdate=2 March 2016}}</ref>

When Delta went into bankruptcy in September 2005, a large reduction at CVG eliminated most early-morning and night flights.<ref name="Why CVG lost half of all flights"/> These initial cuts caused additional routes to become unprofitable, causing the frequency of low-volume routes to be further cut from 2006-2007. Planning for the new east/west runway stopped, along with all expansions to current terminals and Terminal 1 was closed due to lack of service. In 2008, Delta merged with [[Northwest Airlines]] and cut flight capacity from the Cincinnati hub by 22 percent with an additional 17 percent reduction in 2009.<ref name="Yamanouchi">{{cite news| author=Kelly Yamanouchi| publisher=ajc.com| url=http://www.ajc.com/business/cincinnati-hub-is-105747.html?cxtype=rss_business_87628| title= Cincinnati hub is shrinking| work=[[Atlanta Journal-Constitution]]| date=August 2, 2009| accessdate=August 2, 2009}}</ref> Once Delta acquired Northwest, Comair's older fleet, which was costly as a result of rising oil prices, was cut and replaced with other Delta Connection carriers.

Many businesses in Cincinnati have urged Delta to restore the service level it had in the late 1990s and early 2000s while some, such as [[Chiquita Banana]], [[Toyota]], and [[International Paper|Veritiv]] have already relocated to cities with more available flights.<ref>[http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/05/23/4057117/protesters-expected-at-chiquitas.html ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102100557/http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/05/23/4057117/protesters-expected-at-chiquitas.html |date=November 2, 2013 }}</ref> The only remaining intercontinental service by Delta is a daily evening departure to Paris. In addition to serving the heavy international travel demand of local companies such as P&G and GE Aviation, the daily Paris flight is also sustained in great part because it ferries jet-engine parts between factories in Cincinnati and France due to [[GE Aviation]]'s presence.

===End of Comair service===
[[File:CRJ Plane on Gateway at CVG.jpg|thumb|A Comair [[CRJ-100ER]] in Concourse B at CVG, bound for [[Baltimore]]]]
In July 2012, Delta announced that its wholly owned and CVG-based subsidiary, [[Comair]], would cease all operations by October of the same year. However, it said, "the discontinuation of Comair's operations will not result in any significant changes to Delta's network, which has enough flexibility to accommodate these changes".<ref>{{cite web|title=Comair to Cease Operations|accessdate=July 28, 2012|url=http://news.delta.com/index.php?s=43&item=1676|date=July 27, 2012}}</ref> Delta transferred Comair's larger planes to other carriers and retired its 50-seat planes.

In February 2015, Delta announced another 14% cut at CVG, ending flights from 4 cities, while reducing frequency to a dozen other cities, reducing daily departures from 106 to 89. These cuts were a result of Delta's replacement of 50-seat connection airplanes with 150–200-seat planes.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Wiliams|first1=Jason|title=Here's the latest round of Delta cuts|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/02/17/latest-round-delta-cuts-cvg/23565213/|website=Cincinnati.com|publisher=Gannett Companies|accessdate=18 February 2015}}</ref>
 
In Fall 2015, [[PSA Airlines]] opened a maintenance base at CVG in the old PIMCO hangar and a crew base beginning in January 2016. The new bases have led to additional [[American Airlines]] flight at CVG, operated by PSA Airlines including Charlotte, New York–LaGuardia, and Philadelphia. According to Will Smith, General Manager of Envoy, further American expansion at CVG is planned.<ref>{{cite web|title = PSA putting maintenance facility at CVG|url = http://m.wlwt.com/news/psa-airlines-building-maintenance-facility-at-cvg/34551194}}</ref>
 
In 2015, Delta Air Lines had its first increase in passenger capacity since it began cuts in late 2004. This was mostly due to the retirement of smaller regional aircraft for mainline service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/03/10/delta-cincinnati-airline-cuts-kentucky/24701445/|website=Cincinnati.com|accessdate=10 March 2015|title=Delta Cincinnati Hub Cuts}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Frontier Airlines makes a network push starting in late 2015 as it flexes its new ULCC muscle|url=http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/frontier-airlines-makes-a-network-push-starting-in-late-2015-as-it-flexes-its-new-ulcc-muscle-249589|accessdate=23 February 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Cincinnati, OH: Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International (CVG)|url=http://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=CVG&Airport_Name=Cincinnati|accessdate=23 February 2016}}</ref>
 
In 2016, Delta Air Lines continued to increase seat growth at the airport, mostly as a result of using larger aircraft. Delta has added capacity on routes to Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Fayetteville/Bentonville, Las Vegas, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Newark, Orlando, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle/Tacoma, St. Louis, Toronto, and Washington D.C. Delta will add 717 mainline this Spring/Summer to Boston, Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Washington D.C., add a second daily flight to Orlando, add an eight daily flight to Atlanta, and extend Seattle/Tacoma into November. In total, Delta has increased seats by 7.1%<ref name="2016PaxGrowth">{{cite web|title=CVG Passenger Growth Continues|url=http://www.cvgairport.com/about/news/2016/12/21/cvg-passenger-growth-continues|accessdate=2 January 2017}}</ref> in 2016, maintaining Cincinnati as its smallest domestic hub with 85 peak daily departures.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Wetterich|first1=Chris|title=Why Delta has seen local passengers spike at CVG|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2016/03/22/why-delta-has-seen-local-passengers-spike-at-cvg.html|website=Cincinnati Business Courier|publisher=Cincinnati Business Courier|accessdate=21 May 2016}}</ref>
 
In the Summer of 2016, [[United Airlines]] announced the resumption of mainline flights at CVG to Denver and Chicago–O'Hare. These mainline flights were announced as seasonal, though United has extended the service into May 2017 for Chicago and made Denver year round. In addition, they have removed all 50-seat planes from the airport and are using larger regional jets. Later in August 2016, United Airlines announced new daily mainline flights to San Francisco, beginning on June 8, 2017. The flights will be on A319s leaving CVG early in the evening to allow for one stop service to several cities in Asia. This is continuing UA's trend of expanding mainline flights at CVG and directly competing with Delta on lucrative business routes. In November 2016, United Airlines announced an increase to 3 daily departures to Washington–Dulles beginning on April 3, 2017. As a result, United has grown its seat capacity at CVG by 9.5% in 2016.<ref name="2016PaxGrowth"></ref>

The airport's terminal/remote-concourse configuration, combined with simultaneous [[List of Airports with Triple Takeoff/Landing Capability|triple landing/takeoff capabilities]], makes CVG a particularly efficient airport for flight operations. The concourses are all islands, helping with traffic flow and have a capacity of 103 gates, of which only 47 are open as of June 2016, down from a peak of 136 in 2007. The numerous runways can officially handle all aircraft up to the 747-8F, which sees daily service by cargo carriers. The runways have also handled the occasional A380, and after runway 9-27 and 18R-36L are widened to 200&nbsp;ft., could be regularly used by any cargo carriers. CVG is a hub of [[Delta Air Lines]], and was the central hub of Delta's wholly owned subsidiary airline, [[Comair]], which provided [[regional jet]] service under the [[Delta Connection]] banner. As such, the airport serves a role in Delta's [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] [[Spoke-hub distribution paradigm|hub-and-spoke]] system, and is also a preferred diversion point for Detroit bound aircraft due to connection options. Delta Air Lines has considerably pared the number of flights from the Cincinnati hub and in August 2008 announced it would be moving all of its Comair flights to Concourses A and B and closed all operations in Concourse C in January 2009.<ref name="Dayton">{{cite news|title=Delta to close concourse in Cincinnati|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/stories/2008/08/25/daily15.html|work=Dayton Business Journal|publisher=bizjournals.com|first=Lisa|last=Biank Fasig|date=August 26, 2008|accessdate=June 2, 2011}}</ref>  In February 2010, Delta announced it would close Concourse A in May and further consolidate operations in the remaining concourse.

Concourse C was reachable only by shuttle bus. Concourse B is served by Delta and its regional affiliates. Terminal 3 houses one of two [[U.S. Customs and Border Protection|US Customs and Border Protection]] facilities, located in Concourse B, with the other in [[DHL Aviation|DHL's]] cargo complex. All international arrivals except, [[U.S. border preclearance]] are processed in the Mezzanine Level of Concourse B. In May 2012, Terminal 2 was closed and all non-Delta operations were consolidated in a newly renovated Concourse A. The renovation was in response to civic and business leader's concerns about the loss of flights to and from the airport.<ref name="CBS News">{{cite news|title=Renovated Concourse Opens at Cincinnati Airport|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57434621/renovated-concourse-opens-at-cincinnati-airport/|work=CBS News|date=May 15, 2012|accessdate=May 15, 2012}}</ref> In October 2015, Terminal 1 was officially closed as [[Ultimate Air Shuttle]] vacated the building and the airport administrative offices were moved to the old Comair headquarters. Terminal 1 was closed in 2007, but re-opened in 2013 to serve Ultimate Air Shuttle. Terminal 1 was torn down in March 2016 and Terminal 2 was torn down in April 2016 in order to make room for a consolidated rental car facility and larger Concourse A.

The original Terminal 3 was very similar to Terminal 2, and featured the same spike-like design. Before the expansion adding more concourses, this terminal was referred to as Terminal C and renamed Terminal D with the construction of present-day Concourse A. As the number of flights increased and Delta needed more gates, the terminal was added onto. Concourses B and C were later built in 1994 and the terminals were connected by an underground tunnel and people mover. Around the same time, the name was changed again to Terminal 3. This terminal is the main terminal for most flights, and houses all airlines except [[Ultimate Air Shuttle]].
 
===Security checkpoint and baggage claim===
The main terminal security checkpoint is on the ticketing level. This new, expandable checkpoint opened in November 2009. After clearing security, passengers can take escalators or elevators down to the [[Cincinnati Airport People Mover]] that departs to all gates. Arriving passengers exit the terminal by elevator or escalator up to the baggage claim level and all ground transportation on ground level.
 
===Concourse A===
[[Air Canada Express]], [[Allegiant Air]], [[American Airlines]], [[Apple Leisure Group|Apple Vacations]], [[Bahamasair]], [[Frontier Airlines]], [[OneJet]], [[Southwest Airlines]] and [[United Airlines]] use Concourse A.  Most of them had used Terminal 2 before it closed. Concourse A was built as an extension of Terminal C, and named Terminal D, when Delta Air Lines made Cincinnati its second largest hub. The concourse served Continental, Northwest, Atlantic Southwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines until 2010, when Delta Air Lines closed the concourse. Shortly thereafter, the concourse underwent an extensive renovation before re-opening on May 15, 2012. Concourse A is an island and is only reachable by an underground moving walkway or people mover. The concourse houses a U.S. Customs and Border Protection checkpoint, however has been closed since 2012. In total, the concourse has 23 gates, of which 18 are open as of June 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cvgairport.com/terminals/future.html|title=Page Not Found|publisher=}}</ref> Gates A1/2/3/5/20/23 will be renovated and reopened by June 15, 2017 in order to handle increasing flights, passengers, and carriers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Concourse A Hold-room Seating|url=https://www.planetbids.com/portal/portal.cfm?CompanyID=23242|accessdate=25 December 2016}}</ref>
 
===Concourse B===
[[Delta Air Lines]] and [[Vacation Express]] use the concourse, as do all international arrivals without preclearance. Also, the main U.S. Customs and Border Protection are contained in Concourse B, and exit into the tunnel, letting passengers continue to baggage claim, or to another connecting flight. Concourse B was, like all concourses of Terminal 3, designed purposed for Delta and its affiliates, including Cincinnati based Delta subsidiary, Comair. The concourse houses the Delta Sky Club and most of the concessions located at the airport due to the many connecting passengers. Concourse B is an island and is only reachable by an underground moving walkway or people mover. The concourse now houses all Delta and Delta Connection flights with 28 gates. As a result of the length of the concourse, there are moving walkways running down the entire length of the concourse and a central food court on the immediate exit from the tunnel to Terminal 3.<ref>{{cite web|title=Concourse B|url=http://www.cvgairport.com/terminal?mapId=4|accessdate=10 February 2016}}</ref>
 
===Concourse C===
Concourse C opened in September 1994<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Comair-Holdings-Inc-Company-History.html|title=History of Comair Holdings, Inc. – FundingUniverse|publisher=}}</ref> to serve all [[Comair]] flights and was closed in 2009 due to flight reductions by Delta Air Lines. Concourse C is an island concourse. Access was via bus link from other terminals and ticketing areas. It was the first ever dedicated regional jet concourse at the time of its construction and with 53 gates it remains the largest in the world. The concourse has an X-shaped configuration with a waiting area in the center where passengers were able to sit and shop. Passengers would then proceed down the hallways when flights began boarding. Concourse C was expanded twice to increase gate capacity. First in 1997 to the south and again in 2001 to the north.<ref>{{cite web|title=Comair 25 Years - New Horizon|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4wsDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA89&lpg=PA89&dq=largest+regional+jet+concourse&source=bl&ots=ba2SZUQDVS&sig=2nnZIR3S_uhZJpiOFN9DVDBkgfY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwith-e9q8bJAhUI5iYKHYasAucQ6AEIQDAG#v=onepage&q=largest%20regional%20jet%20concourse&f=false|website=Google Books|publisher=Cincinnati Magazine|accessdate=6 December 2015}}</ref>
 
Delta is the owner of the concourse building and held a lease for the land until 2025. However, on March 2, 2016, the ''Cincinnati Enquirer'' reported that an agreement had been struck between Delta and CVG to terminate the lease for the land of Concourse C. Demolition of the concourse is to begin in early 2017 and could take up to a year to finish.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2016/03/04/cvg-saying-goodbye-concourse-c/81300906/|title=CVG saying goodbye to Concourse C|publisher=}}</ref> Until demolition begins the only use of the concourse is by airport security personnel (including dogs) for training and storing snow removal equipment. Prior to the deal to demolish the terminal Delta had released its sole claim on the gates however the concourse was not reactivated due to lack of demand, its remote location, and deteriorating structural integrity.
 
===Concourse D===
Concourse D, which would have been an island concourse connecting to Terminal 3, was in the planning stages before Delta's bankruptcy. It was intended to deal with an increasing number of flights, however, because of a decrease in air travel, was never built. It would have been located northwest from Terminal 1 and have about 60-70 gates and would have served all Delta Connection flights including Comair. Then all non-Sky Team carriers would use Concourse A and all international flights would be located in Concourse B, which was to be expanded into the closed Concourse C.<ref>{{cite web|title=2025 Master Plan|url=http://www.airportsites.net/cvgpart150mpu/Documents/masterplan050406-3.pdf|publisher=Airport Sites|accessdate=January 30, 2015}}</ref>

==Former terminals==
 
===International Terminal===
The original international terminal at CVG was located west of Terminal 1, in the present day cell phone parking lot, sharing passenger facilities with Terminal A, which handled all of Comair's flights. The terminal served [[Delta Air Lines]] and various charter airlines from the 1970s until 1984 when Delta Air Lines moved its operations to Terminal D, and closed in 1994 when charter airlines were moved to the newly constructed Concourse B. The Terminal only had one gate, named Gate 1.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport|url=http://www.departedflights.com/airports.html|website=Departed Flights|publisher=Departed Flights|accessdate=30 November 2015}}</ref>
 
===Comair Terminal A===
The original location of all [[Comair]] flights was on the apron west of Terminal B, named Terminal A, with passengers boarding aircraft directly from the tarmac. The aircraft hardstands were aligned diagonally, with buses shuttling passengers to Terminal D, where all Delta Air Lines flights were located. Some Comair operations were moved to Terminal D in 1982 when Comair began service for Delta, but the terminal later closed in 1994, when all Comair flights were moved to Concourse C. The apron where the planes were parked is still intact, but all passenger facilities have been removed.<ref>{{cite web|title=OHnonstop99|url=http://www.departedflights.com/OHnonstop99.html|website=DepartedFlights|publisher=Comair|accessdate=29 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Comair  Shorts SD-330  N2678G|url=http://www.edcoatescollection.com/ac3/Airline/Comair%20Shorts%20360.html|accessdate=29 December 2016}}</ref>
 
===Terminal 1===
[[File:18 Cincinnati airport-03.JPG|thumb|right|Terminal 1 as seen from Terminal 2. In the foreground is an American Eagle [[ERJ-135]]]]
Terminal 1 was in the location of the original terminal and served non-Delta flights mainly consisting of [[US Airways]] flights. Before the expansion adding more concourses, this terminal was referred to as Terminal A with a regional corridor added for regional jets in the 1960s. When Terminal D was built in 1974, the building was renamed Terminal B, while Comair's apron was named Terminal A. Its name was changed again to Terminal 1 with the construction of Concourse B and C in 1994. The check-in and security area of Terminal 1 was very compact, and mostly served US Airways. The baggage claim was part of the check-in area, and provided access to Terminal 1 and 3 through a corridor.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Stulz|first1=Larry|title=Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG)|url=http://www.cincinnati-transit.net/cvg.html|website=Cincinnati Transport|publisher=Cincinnati Transport|accessdate=19 October 2015}}</ref> Terminal 1 has 9 gates, which were numbered 1-9, and served US Airways flights, but remained very empty throughout the day. The terminal had several concessions, but after the reduction in flights, most of the vendors left or relocated to other terminals. Through the years, the terminal also was used by [[Skyway Airlines]], [[Midwest Express]], and [[Northwest Airlines]]. The terminal was closed in 2007 because of its outdated design and limited gate space. The front part of the terminal was renovated in 2013 and started serving [[Ultimate Air Shuttle]] on September 9 of that year. However the majority of the concourse was abandoned on October 19, 2015 when Ultimate Air Shuttle relocated to the [[Delta Private Jets|Delta Jet Center]], closing Terminal 1 until its demolition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ultimate Air Moving Shop At CVG|url=http://www.wcpo.com/news/insider/ultimate-air-moving-shop-at-cvg}}</ref> Terminal 1 was demolished in March 2016 in order to make room for a new consolidated rental car facility.
 
===Terminal 2===
Terminal 2 was built as an expansion to Terminal 1 to allow for the increasing number of flights and served [[American Airlines]] and [[United Airlines]]. Before the expansion adding more concourses, this terminal was referred to as Terminal B. In 1974, with the construction of Terminal D, it was renamed Terminal C, and later Terminal 2 following the construction of Concourse B and C. It was built at the same time as Terminal 3 and they shared similar designs. The check-in and security areas of Terminal 2 are located in the front of the terminal, and allow movement to Terminal 1 and 3 through a corridor. The baggage claim is located in a separate building across the street, immediately adjacent to the P2 parking garage, which provides short-term parking for the terminal. The terminal are consisted of eight gates, numbered 1-8, and served most airlines other than [[US Airways]] or Delta. After the closure of Terminal 1, it also served US Airways, and it ceased operations after the remodel of Concourse A. The terminal only had two food vendors, and lacked any sort of larger restaurant because of its outdated design and layout. In 2012, the airport decided to shut down the terminal and move the remaining airlines into Terminal 3, Concourse A. The terminal was removed in April 2016 to make way for a larger Concourse A and rental car facility.<ref name="WCPO">{{cite web|last1=Engel|first1=Liz|title=Long-discussed terminal demo slated to start at CVG this year|website=wcpo.com|publisher=WCPO|accessdate=10 August 2015}}</ref>
 
==Master Plan and expansion==
[[File:CVG Master Plan Overview.png|thumb|The 2035 Master Plan, overview map of planned changes]]
In 2013, the CVG 2035 Master Plan was released, with updates in 2016, and outlines the future of CVG, which predicts that Delta will keep about 80 daily departures, low-cost carriers will increase dramatically, and passenger service will steadily increase. Also, the plan is designed to accommodate an increase in cargo traffic from DHL as it continues to expand, in addition to new businesses and other companies on the airport grounds.<ref>{{cite web|title = Master Plan|url = http://www.cvgairport.com/about/plan|website = www.cvgairport.com|accessdate = 2015-05-19}}</ref>
 
===Terminal area===
[[File:CVG Terminal Area.png|thumb|Terminal area of Master Plan layout]]
The master plans outlines a gradual transition of facilities, transferring from a Delta hub, to multiple carrier airport with high local passenger use. In Concourse A, gates A1/2/3/5/20/23 will be opened on June 15, 2017. Concourse C will be torn down in 2017 to construct an overnight parking and deicing area, while a new consolidated rental car facility and parking garage will be constructed by 2021 to deal with an influx of local passengers. A new west wing of Concourse A is also in the planning stages to accommodate increasing flights and Concourse B will be extensively renovated to handle Delta flights. Most of this construction would be completed by 2025, and would be financed by the airport.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url = http://www.cvgairport.com/docs/default-source/master-plan-report/9-alp-pt-1.pdf?sfvrsn=2|title = CVG Master Plan|date = 2013|accessdate = 2015-05-19|website = |publisher = CVG Airport|last = |first = }}</ref>
 
===Cargo areas===
The master plan includes an expansion to the DHL facility, with space for up to 16 additional aircraft hardstands spread over 50 acres, and an expansion to the warehouse. While upgrading its facilities, DHL will be adding additional equipment to increase sorting capacity. A multi-carrier cargo facility was constructed at the old DHL Cargo Area, north of Terminal 1, and used by [[FedEx]] but the airport hopes to gain more international carriers. Also, the Airline Surveillance Radar (ASR) will be moved west of the airport to accommodate DHL expansion.<ref name=":0" /> The work on DHL's $108-million expansion began in the fall of 2015 and was completed in November2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Progress|url=http://www.cvgairport.com/about/news/progress|website=CVG Airport|publisher=CVG Airport|accessdate=12 September 2015}}</ref>
 
===Runways and taxiways===
The plan call for the addition of parallel taxiways on runway 9-27, and 18C-36C, in addition to a widening of runway 09-27 and 18L-36R to accommodate larger aircraft from DHL including the 747-800F currently in daily use and A380 if DHL ever decides to operate the aircraft. Numerous other taxiways will be widened for access to the DHL complex. In the far future, plans for another east-to-west runway are included for nighttime DHL landings, but would only be needed if more expansion occurred.<ref>{{cite web|title = Master Plan Report|url = http://www.cvgairport.com/docs/default-source/master-plan-report/8-recommendations.pdf?sfvrsn=2|website = www.cvgairport.com|accessdate = 2015-05-19}}</ref> As of April 2016, widening of taxiways surrounding the cargo and private hangars area, south of runway 09-27, has been finished.<ref>{{cite web|website=www.google.com/maps/|title=Google Maps|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref>
 
==Airlines and destinations==
 
===Passenger===
[[File:Delta767CVG.jpg|thumb|Delta Air Lines operates a nonstop flight from CVG to Paris using a [[Boeing 767-300|Boeing 767-300ER]]. The route is the only nonstop transatlantic passenger flight to Europe from Indiana, Kentucky or Ohio.]]

==DHL hub==
[[File:N784AX (8989921401).jpg|thumb|N784AX (8989921401)|A DHL [[Boeing 767-200]] at CVG]]
In 1984, DHL opened its CVG hub and began operations throughout the U.S. and world. However, in 2004, DHL decided to move its hub to Wilmington, Ohio, in order to compete in the United States shipment business. The plan ended up failing, and moved back to CVG in 2009 to resume its original operations. CVG now serves as one of DHL's three global hubs (The other two being [[Leipzig/Halle Airport|Leipzig/Halle]] and [[Hong Kong International Airport|Hong Kong]]) with 84 flights each day to destinations across North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific. DHL has completed a $105-million expansion and employs approximately 2,500 at CVG. Because of this growth, CVG now stands as the 6th busiest airport in North America based on cargo tonnage and 34th in the world.<ref>http://www.cvgairport.com/docs/default-source/leadership/cvg-2014.pdf?sfvrsn=0</ref> On May 28, 2015 DHL announced a $108-million expansion to its current facility, which doubled the current cargo operations. The money was used to double the gate capacity for transferring cargo, an expansion to the sorting facility, and various technical improvements, which was completed in Autumn 2016. In addition, this has provided many more jobs for the Cincinnati area, and will dramatically increase the airports operations.<ref>{{cite web|last1=DeMio|first1=Terry|title=DHL to expand at CVG due to e-commerce growth|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2014/11/20/dhl-express-expansion-boone-county-hebron-cvg/70007328/|website=Cincinnati.com|accessdate=28 May 2015}}</ref>
 
==Commercial charters and private aircraft==
 
CVG, dominated by cargo and commercial flights, has very few private aircraft movements. Most businesses and local pilots choose [[Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport]] over CVG because of its location and convenience. However, charters have grown to over 50,000 passengers per year. The airport is the hub and headquarters for [[Delta Private Jets]].
 
===Delta Private Jets===
[[Delta Private Jets]] is a private aircraft service, which is at aimed at businesses needing service to destinations on a private aircraft, or that the airport does not supply on a regular basis. This service serves the many business of Cincinnati, including many [[Fortune 500]]. Delta Private Jet is also available to Elite SkyMile members for an upgrade purchase price of $300–800 on select routes from Delta's Cincinnati, Atlanta, and New York hubs. In addition, this service allows travelers to avoid flying hassles such as security.<ref name="Delta Private Jets">{{cite web|url=http://www.deltaprivatejets.com/ |title=Delta Private Jets |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/6SNEpbr7x?url=http://www.deltaprivatejets.com/ |archivedate=September 6, 2014 |accessdate=February 14, 2015 |deadurl=yes |df=mdy }}</ref> Delta Private Jets is located at 82 Comair Boulevard building, which had been the [[Comair]] headquarters and had the name Comair General Office Building.<ref>"[http://www.comair.com/comair/cdj.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=cdj_pg_1005 Recruiting Events:]" [[Comair]].

===Maintenance bases===
[[File:Endeavor Air Maintenance Hangars.jpg|thumb|Endeavor Air maintenance hangars]]
The airport is home to many maintenance bases due to the substantial operations of several carriers at the airport. [[Delta Air Lines]] has hangar and line maintenance facility for its primary maintenance, repair and overhaul arm, [[Delta TechOps]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Jensen|first=David|title=Delta TechOps Rejuvenated|url=http://www.aviationtoday.com/am/categories/commercial/Commercial-Delta-TechOps-Rejuvenated_9982.html#.UbnV9PnVCSo|publisher=Aviation Today |deadurl=no |accessdate=October 31, 2013}}</ref> Also, [[Allegiant Air]] will have a crew and maintenance base located at CVG by January 2016. On August 5, 2015, [[PSA Airlines]], a subsidiary of [[American Eagle (airline brand)|American Eagle]], announced plans to build a maintenance base at CVG due to the growing demand at CVG.<ref>{{cite web|title=PSA Airlines putting maintenance facility at CVG|url=http://www.wlwt.com/news/psa-airlines-building-maintenance-facility-at-cvg/34551194|website=PSA Airlines putting maintenance facility at CVG|publisher=WLWT.com|accessdate=6 August 2015}}</ref>
 
===Ground transportation===
 
[[Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky]] (TANK) provides bus service from the airport to Downtown Cincinnati via Route 2X. [[Car rental]] services are provided by [[Alamo Rent a Car|Alamo]], [[Avis Rent a Car System|Avis]], [[Budget Rent a Car|Budget]], [[Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group|Dollar and Thrifty]], [[Enterprise Holdings|Enterprise]], [[The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]], and National. The airport has three Short Term Parking Garages, 1-3, which were originally used for each terminal respectively. Garage 1 is unused, while Garages 2 and 3 are used for all other passengers in the Main Terminal. The Short Term Parking areas are designated by fruit names: Level 1-Orange, Level 2-Lemon, Level 3-Lime, Level 4-Cherry, and Level 5-Grape. Long Term Parking is remote from the terminal, so passengers must use a shuttle bus between the terminals and Long Term Parking lot.

In 2003, a study commissioned by CVG found that 18% of Cincinnati-area residents use one of five nearby airports including Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Lexington, or Louisville instead of CVG because passengers can find fares up to 50% lower at these nearby airports.<ref name="Enquirer Pilcher" /> However, because [[Delta Air Lines|Delta]] downsized its hub operations and [[Allegiant Air|Allegiant]] and [[Frontier Airlines|Frontier]] increased flights, many more residents are choosing CVG, and have helped sustain low cost carriers at CVG for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2015/07/23/allegiant-air-cvg-base-jobs/30548707/|title = Allegiant Air makes CVG a home, creates jobs|date = July 23, 2015|accessdate = July 24, 2015|website = Allegiant Air makes CVG a home, creates jobs|publisher = Cincinnati.com|last = Williams|first = Jason}}</ref>
 
In the 4th Quarter of 2014, CVG dropped from being the most expensive airport at $514 to $485, making the airport now the third-highest. This is the lowest the airport has been since 2011, and is a result of Allegiant and Frontier increasing flights, along with Delta trying to attract local customers rather than connect passengers. CVG had the 5th largest drop in airfare prices in the country, and with more expansion of LCCs at the airport, will likely drop even more.<ref>{{cite web|title=CVG drops in airfare rankings|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2015/04/28/sticker-shock-cvg-doesnt-have-the-most-expensive.html?page=all|website=Cincinnati Business Courier|accessdate=29 April 2015}}</ref>
 
In June 2015, CheapFlights.com released its list of the cheapest U.S. airports based on average price to the 101 most popular destinations in the U.S., and ranked CVG as number one, with an average price of $199. CVG was ranked 77th last year, and the dramatic change results from Frontier and Allegiant rapidly increasing flights.<ref>{{cite web|title = CVG flights among cheapest in nation - Cincinnati Business Courier|url = http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/morning_call/2015/07/from-worst-to-first-cvg-flights-among-cheapest-in.html|website = Cincinnati Business Courier|accessdate = 2015-07-24}}</ref>
 
In the 2nd Quarter of 2015, CVG dropped from an average price of $528 to $436, putting CVG at number 20 of the 100 busiest airports in the U.S. This is mostly the result of expansion by Allegiant Air and increased competition between [[Delta Air Lines]] and [[American Airlines]]. This quarter ended a five-year streak of placing in the top 3 highest priced airports in the country.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ticket prices drop at CVG|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2016/01/08/ticket-prices-drop-cvg/78519196/|website=Cincinanti.com|publisher=Cincinanti.com|accessdate=8 January 2016}}</ref>
 
In the 4th Quarter of 2015, CVG dropped to the 22nd most expensive airport, placing it at its lowest ranking since the DOT began keeping track of airfares in 1995. Average airfares have declined 20% in the last year, while local traffic has grown over 16% in the last quarter. The drop in airfares is due mostly to Allegiant and Frontier increasing flights, but average airfares from legacy carriers American, Delta, and United have also declined due to competition.<ref>{{cite web|title=CVG Drops to #22 in DOT Airfare Report Best CVG Ranking in History of Airfare Report|url=http://www.cvgairport.com/about/news/2016/04/26/cvg-drops-to-22-in-dot-airfare-report|accessdate=22 June 2016}}</ref>
 
===Industrial murals===
[[File:CUT Ink Making Mural at CVG.jpg|thumb|CUT Ink Making Mural at CVG]]
The airport is home to 14 large [[Art Deco]] murals created for the train concourse building at [[Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal|Cincinnati Union Terminal]] during the station's construction in 1932. Mosaic murals depicting people at work in local Cincinnati workplaces were incorporated into the interior design of the railroad station by [[Winold Reiss]], a German-born artist with a reputation in interior design.
 
When the train concourse building was designated for demolition in 1972, a "Save the Terminal Committee" raised funds to remove and transport the 14 murals in the concourse to new locations in the Airport. They were placed in Terminal 1, as well as Terminals 2 and 3, which were then being constructed as part of a major airport expansion and renovation.
 
The murals were also featured in a scene in the film ''[[Rain Man]]'' starring [[Dustin Hoffman]] and [[Tom Cruise]]. In addition, a walkway to one of the terminals at CVG was featured in the scene in the film when Hoffman's character, Raymond, refused to fly on a plane.
 
On May 19, 2015, ''[[The Cincinnati Enquirer]]'' reported that the nine murals located in the old Terminals 1 & 2 will be relocated to the [[Duke Energy Convention Center]] in downtown [[Cincinnati]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/arts/2015/05/19/murals-cvg-closer-cincinnati-homecoming/27584945/|title=Long hidden at CVG, murals closer to coming home|date=May 19, 2015|work=Cincinnati.com}}</ref>
