COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Regional Airport Authority has opened a new, additional cell phone waiting lot at John Glenn Columbus International Airport. The new area is closer to the terminal and gives drivers another option when picking up passengers at the airport.

Positioned between the air traffic control tower and the terminal, the new lot is easy to access. Drivers can follow the road signs along International Gateway.

Since there is no waiting permitted at the terminal, the designated cell phone waiting lots allow drivers to wait for passengers free of charge near the terminal. Once a traveler calls to say they’ve arrived, drivers can meet them curbside in minutes.

The current cell phone waiting lots by the John Glenn International sign and in the Green Lot remain available for use.
