Here’s the latest I can share based on recent available reporting:
- Cols Regional Airport Authority (CRAA) has been advancing the CMH terminal redevelopment project, with updates indicating ongoing construction planning and funding arrangements aimed at a 2029 opening timeline for the new John Glenn Columbus International Airport terminal.[1][3][5]
- Passenger traffic at Columbus-area airports experienced fluctuations early in 2026, including a reported year-over-year or month-to-month dip in January 2026 according to CAPA’s coverage of CRAA activity, reflecting broader market dynamics for the region’s air travel.[2]
- Public updates and press materials from the CRAA and CMH NEXT site continue to emphasize milestones such as design finalization, terminal layout, and connections to ground transportation as the project progresses toward completion.[5][8]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise figures (e.g., exact monthly passenger counts for Jan 2026, contract awards, or the current project budget) from the sources above and summarize them in a short table. I can also set up a quick timeline of major milestones for the CMH terminal project.
