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.
