Media Guidelines
The Columbus Airport Commission recognizes the valuable role that
the media plays in our society and our community. The media is a
key source in sharing information with the public about the
operation of the Columbus Airport. The Commission seeks to
facilitate media coverage to the fullest extent possible as long as
that coverage does not interfere with the safety, security and
operation of the airport.
Media Inquiries
All media inquiries should be directed to the Marketing Director
at (706.324.2449 x1422), currently Carolyn Marlow, who will answer
questions and assist in arranging interviews. Every effort will be
made to respond to media requests within a reasonable
timeframe.
Parking at Columbus Airport
Media outlets are permitted to park clearly-marked company
vehicles in short-term or long-term parking at any time without
calling ahead for clearance.
Access Inside
The media is permitted in public circulation areas only, such as
ticketing and baggage claim areas. The Commission cannot give media
permission to access leased space such as retail or car rental
agencies. Permission must be arranged directly with the
company.
Reporting Live
Media are welcome to conduct live broadcasts within the terminal.
This location provides an excellent visual backdrop for reporters
conducting their live interviews, so as not to impede the
operations of the airport, airlines or tenants. Public Safety will
coordinate any cabling that needs to run for live shots and the
media will be accompanied by police.
