New Website

there is a relly cool and nice website that poped up on the cmh page a couple of weeks ago it is fantastic and they are updating it every day. they have news that cmh website doesn't have. it takes like a week to get the most current information on the offical cmh website and it is approved by the airport authority. I called to make sure!! Check it out the web address is www.cmhinfo.org cmhcolumbus may 30 4:25 pm

Map

Hello, i took the of the terminal off because it was outdated and didn't include new gates, Skybus and other things. thank you. cmhcolumbus May 26, 2007 9:55

That is the most current map at Port Columbus as of 2 weeks ago. I will be there again next week, so if they have changed them, I'll get a new pic. Polypmaster 15:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

STOP FIGHTING

Ok, guys, I am sick of seeing 20 edits per day adding flight info then removing it. Firstly, none of your edits are referenced, which needs to be addressed. Secondly, it looks bad when the flight info keeps changing. I am making a rule which should mirror closely to what has been agreed upon on WikiProject:Airports: Flight info needs to be referenced and current (i.e. future flight plans should not be added) One exception I will allow is if the info is referenced and the flight is to begin within 30 days. But PLEASE, do not change the flight info at your will. If your have a conflict with the data on the site but you do not have direct reference, add your complaint to the talk page so it can be discussed. Starting tomorrow I don't want to see any unreferenced edits. Thank you. Polypmaster 01:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey you can't make rules about a page by yourself unless it is dicussed in the talk page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, references are universal. Shut up. The flights either are happening or aren't. I don't think they change that often. Make a decision and stick with it. And for your information I have spent many hours making this a better page, so I do have some say on this page. If you wish to not follow my suggestion then fine, but your edits will just get reverted continuously. Polypmaster 22:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Destinations

Observing this page over the last few months, I see lots of anonymous edits regarding new destinations. These usually end up being removed as we have no way of knowing whether it is actually true. To all editors, please cite sources such as a Columbus Dispatch or Business First article when adding new destinations. I realize some editors may work in the airport and have inside information, but unforutnately we need reliable sources. Wikipedia is no place for rumor and conjecture.--Analogue Kid 21:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Is Delta's flight from SLC-CMH seasonal or is it year round? Someone has been removing it as of late. Spongefan 14:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if people stop fighting over the CMH flight schedule. I continually see a flight added then deleted then added again. If there is an issue with what is in the article, please discuss it here first. Thank you. Polypmaster 22:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey Spongefan, I looked on Delta's website, they do have year round service on a MD-90 from SLC to CMH. They also have RJ service.

Suggestions

Here is a list of items suggested for improvement. Feel free to work on any of these, and cross them off when complete. Polypmaster 01:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

"It is also known for" , who knows? needs Reference.

NOTOC should be removed, the page is long enough to require one

"Airport Traffic" section needs expansion or merging into another section

Facilities restates runway info already in the infobox

The whole "Future Development" section sounds a bit vague (and without references). "To facilitate an anticipated passenger increase, the current terminal will be improved in order to maximize the usage of the facility."? That's like saying, "To improve things, things will be improved."

Refs need a separate section. Some of the external links can be used, and should be moved to the References section.

Overall a very good article, certainly B-class, I'd put it up for GA after the above issues are fixed.

aircraft list

A list for aircraft served at port columbus has popped onto the article, but has no references. I edited it to fit within the article, but I would like a consensus on whether this category is even necessary. If so, whomever added it, please source your references. If there are no references, it must be removed until a reference can be provided. I would assume this info wasn't pulled out of thin air, so I am leaving it for now. Thanks. Polypmaster 14:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah doesn't seem like it's very relevant. Technically I'm sure every major western aircraft ever produced has visited Port Columbus at some point. I specifically remember flying to Phoenix on an America West 757 10 years ago, but of course they've reduced their operations mostly.--Analogue Kid 14:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to add the reference in. I am the one who created the list. I thought it would be a could idea to let peolple know what type of major aircraft flew into CMH. I found the info on NATCA's CMH local page. It is down in the external links. I also put the gate numbers for each airline, but someone took those off. I found those using CMH real time flight info, by writing down what ever gates a saw for that airline. I found Skybus's gates when I flew on U.S. Airways to LAS, In Concourse B. Thanks, American Airlines 757-767 Captian, Tpack4 16:49,16 April 2007

Ground Transportation

Something is missing for the article. I've already added public transportation to this article, but considering there's already added transportation like the Interstate 270 and Interstate 670 access in the beginnning part of the article. With this, I'm considering moving the road access to the public transportation and change the section to ground transportation. Anybody want to put any imput into this? Spongefan 01:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure what the standards are for this. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports for that information. If it is not there, ask on the discussion page. They should give you a good answer quickly. As for the intro paragraph, I would say leave it for now, as that paragraph is supposed to briefly cover the contents of the rest of the article. It can be reworked to cover public transportation too. If you want, ask them also about that. Something like "Port Columbus is also accessible via public transportation, however options are limited to bus, taxi, and airport shuttle." Work it in how you think. The car paragraph can also be reduced and that info could be added to ground transportation if the airport project guys think it is ok. Polypmaster 10:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

CMH code

I was hoping that this article would have information explaining how the code CMH got applied to Port Columbus. While I believe I have known the answer before, I can't seem to remember it now. If anyone has it, please add it to the article. Jimbobjoe 06:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I believe it means Columbus Municipal Hangar, but I can't cite a source for that other than to tell you I read it somewhere one time.--Analogue Kid 12:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I added that info into the introduction. I fould a source, but I am not sure if it is useable. If someone has a more reliable source please replace it. Polypmaster 13:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody know why seemingly overnight searching KCMH goes to a Christian radio company (owning a lot of stations with both W- and K- prefixes), and not to this Port Columbus Article or at least a reference page like typing in CMH does?

CMH Map

The map of the terminal is based on the most recent information available from Port Columbus. While I understand it may not be perfect, it is the best that can be done with the information given. If they release a new map I will do my best to quickly update the image. Please also understand that original research is not valid for referencing any information, including images.

Overall, the map is a very helpful image that provides a general overview of the terminal and facilities contained within. Polypmaster 15:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Aircraft incidents

I have added an incident section to the article as well as some incidents. I am having some trouble collecting all serious incidents since the NTSB site is not sorted by airport, and does not seperate minor incidents from serious ones. The sites I have found that provide easy dissemination of the information do not have complete records. If someone wants to sort through the 25 pages of NTSB records pertaining to Columbus, Ohio or knows a simpler way, please tell me. Also, I am unsure about the formatting. If someone thinks there is a better way or knows of a particular way the section is supposed to be formatted, go ahead and fix it. Thanks. Polypmaster 19:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
