Made possible with geo-fencing technology, a smartphone app and/or “smart” glasses, Aira connects visually-impaired persons with a trained, remotely-located agent who can see where the traveler is and can guide them as needed. CMH is among 30 U.S. airports offering this customer service option. Learn more about Aira.

We realize many students flew out of CMH for spring break and parked their vehicles at the airport, only for some to find out their in-person classes were canceled for the remainder of the semester. If you're in this situation and unable to fly back to Ohio as planned, please do the following when you fly back to CMH: 

• Go to the far left lane at the exit of the lot
• Present a copy of your flight itinerary and a copy of the school notice preventing your return to campus
• A customer service specialist will collect your ticket information, documents and apply the appropriate parking fee based on the original travel itinerary
