64-594: Ohio State University Airport ( IATA : OSU , ICAO : KOSU , FAA LID : OSU ) is a public airport six miles (10 km) northwest of downtown Columbus , in Franklin County , Ohio , United States. It is owned and operated by Ohio State University in Columbus. It is also known as the OSU Don Scott Airport , named after Donald E. Scott , an OSU alumnus who died during his training as

128-504: A location identifier , is a three-letter geocode designating many airports and metropolitan areas around the world, defined by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks are an example of a way these codes are used. The assignment of these codes is governed by IATA Resolution 763, and it

192-499: A pilot in the United Kingdom during World War II . The airport's main entrance is located on Case Road, and is easily accessible from OH-315 and Interstate 270 . The Ohio State University Airport serves the university while offering general aviation services for the public. It is one of 30 airports owned by universities across the country, but it is one of only three owned by a Tier One research institution . The airport

256-470: A $ 10 million donation. It also added dozens of new hangars to house more airplanes, and it is developing a 50-acre corporate airpark. Based on the 12-month period ending December 31, 2021, the airport has 77,745 annual aircraft operations, an average of 213 per day. This includes 79% general aviation , 21% air taxi , and <1% military . The airport generally ranks in the top five airports in Ohio in terms of

320-553: A five passenger single-engined aircraft. On June 9, even before starting service, Wright merged with Commuter Airlines, Inc. At the time, the CAB tightly regulated almost all airline service in the United States, one exception being those airlines that flew “small” aircraft (under 12,500lbs). TAG and Wright were such operators. Such airlines still needed FAA operational certification, which occurred for Wright on May 25. However, in

384-567: A new airport is built, replacing the old one, leaving the city's new "major" airport (or the only remaining airport) code to no longer correspond with the city's name. The original airport in Nashville, Tennessee, was built in 1936 as part of the Works Progress Administration and called Berry Field with the designation, BNA. A new facility known as Nashville International Airport was built in 1987 but still uses BNA. This

448-444: A plan to expand runway 9R/27L to 6,000 feet to help corporate aviation departments fly further non-stop from the airport. The airport has a fixed-base operator that offers both avgas and Jet A fuel as well as amenities such as general maintenance , catering , a crew lounge, snooze rooms, showers , a courtesy car, and more. The FBO unveiled a new $ 15 million terminal building in 2018, which received funding in large part from

512-644: A public-use airport in 1959 upon receipt of federal funding for runway improvements. The first jets were based at the airport in 1962. The university started a partnership with the National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA) in the 1960s. The Association's Safety in Flight Evaluation Conference has been held at The Ohio State University Airport ten times. The Ohio State University Airport has been home to NIFA's headquarters since 2015. In

576-509: Is GSN and its IATA code is SPN, and some coincide with IATA codes of non-U.S. airports. Canada's unusual codes—which bear little to no similarity with any conventional abbreviation to the city's name—such as YUL in Montréal , and YYZ in Toronto , originated from the two-letter codes used to identify weather reporting stations in the 1930s. The letters preceding the two-letter code follow

640-627: Is administered by the IATA's headquarters in Montreal , Canada. The codes are published semi-annually in the IATA Airline Coding Directory. IATA provides codes for airport handling entities, and for certain railway stations. Alphabetical lists of airports sorted by IATA code are available. A list of railway station codes , shared in agreements between airlines and rail lines such as Amtrak , SNCF , and Deutsche Bahn ,

704-554: Is available. However, many railway administrations have their own list of codes for their stations, such as the list of Amtrak station codes . Airport codes arose out of the convenience that the practice brought pilots for location identification in the 1930s. Initially, pilots in the United States used the two-letter code from the National Weather Service (NWS) for identifying cities. This system became unmanageable for cities and towns without an NWS identifier, and

768-523: Is different from the name in English, yet the airport code represents only the English name. Examples include: Due to scarcity of codes, some airports are given codes with letters not found in their names: The use of 'X' as a filler letter is a practice to create three-letter identifiers when more straightforward options were unavailable: Some airports in the United States retained their NWS ( National Weather Service ) codes and simply appended an X at

832-513: Is in conjunction to rules aimed to avoid confusion that seem to apply in the United States, which state that "the first and second letters or second and third letters of an identifier may not be duplicated with less than 200 nautical miles separation." Thus, Washington, D.C. area's three airports all have radically different codes: IAD for Washington–Dulles , DCA for Washington–Reagan (District of Columbia Airport), and BWI for Baltimore (Baltimore–Washington International, formerly BAL). Since HOU

896-515: Is largely exempt from paying property taxes. The Ohio State University opened its first airport in 1917 to train cadets to build and fly aircraft for World War 1 . That airport was shut down in 1920 when Ohio Stadium was built on the site. The university built a second airport soon after its first shut down, and it was among a number of universities that took part in the Civilian Pilot Training Program , sponsored by

960-543: Is not followed outside the United States: In addition, since three letter codes starting with Q are widely used in radio communication, cities whose name begins with "Q" also had to find alternate codes, as in the case of: IATA codes should not be confused with the FAA identifiers of U.S. airports. Most FAA identifiers agree with the corresponding IATA codes, but some do not, such as Saipan , whose FAA identifier

1024-419: Is paved with asphalt. The third runway, designated as runway 5/23, measures 3562 x 100 ft (1086 x 30 m) and is also paved with asphalt. The airport also has a helipad for helicopter operations. Designated as helipad H1, it measures 40 x 40 ft (12 x 12 m) and is paved with asphalt. In 2020, the airport's main runway received rehabilitations to continue offering safe operations. The airport's master plan includes

1088-696: Is the base for the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Aviation Section and the Ohio Department of Transportation's Office of Aviation. In August 1975, the US Civil Aeronautics Board , the now-defunct Federal agency that, at the time, regulated almost all airline service, approved Wright Air Lines to fly from Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport to Columbus via Don Scott Airport. At the time, Wright flew 44-passenger piston-powered Convair 440 aircraft. The new service

1152-638: Is the only time the Ohio State airport has been used for scheduled airline service. Gilbert “Gibby” Singerman was a partner in (and officer of) Midwest Air Charter , which pioneered the transport of cancelled checks by air in 1972 for the Federal Reserve (allowing the Fed to reduce the float in the money supply ). ( Federal Express originally sought the same business, hence the name.) Midwest moved its hub to Wilmington Air Park in 1978 and in 1980

1216-416: Is used for William P. Hobby Airport , the new Houston–Intercontinental became IAH. The code BKK was originally assigned to Bangkok–Don Mueang and was later transferred to Suvarnabhumi Airport , while the former adopted DMK. The code ISK was originally assigned to Gandhinagar Airport (Nashik's old airport) and later on transferred to Ozar Airport (Nashik's current airport). Shanghai–Hongqiao retained

1280-571: The Canadian transcontinental railroads were built, each station was assigned its own two-letter Morse code : When the Canadian government established airports, it used the existing railway codes for them as well. If the airport had a weather station, authorities added a "Y" to the front of the code, meaning "Yes" to indicate it had a weather station or some other letter to indicate it did not. When international codes were created in cooperation with

1344-564: The Civil Aeronautics Administration , for the purpose of fostering private flying. The current OSU Airport began in 1943 as a flight training facility for military and civilian pilots, operated by the OSU School of Aviation. The airport was used as a research location for crop dusting aircraft in the 1940s. A Piper J-3 Cub was used for testing until it crashed in 1957 and the project was halted. It became

1408-460: The 1960s) in depressed Youngstown, Ohio . Singerman proposed to move Wright’s headquarters to the same Youngstown location, no doubt to the eager anticipation of the staff. Despite Singerman’s Convairliner passion, in April Wright ordered eight Shorts 360 aircraft, with the first to be delivered almost immediately. In June 1984, Wright reported a huge $ 1.4mm loss on revenue of $ 7.3mm for

1472-582: The 1960s, traffic on the DET-BKL route rivaled that on the Cleveland-Hopkins to Detroit Metro route, at levels approaching 100,000 passengers per year, despite being provided exclusively with small aircraft. 1969 schedules show TAG scheduling 22 flights each direction on DET-BKL on weekdays, six on Saturdays, ten on Sundays. By September 1967, Wright was flying to Pittsburgh as well as DET, up to 14/day each way to DET, four to Pittsburgh. The fleet

1536-591: The 1970s, the University used Douglas DC-3s at the airport to transport university sports teams, faculty, and administration to and from Columbus. Discussions to sell the airport have been on and off since 1986. The OSU Airport is now a self-supporting entity of the Ohio State University through the Department of Aerospace Engineering & Aviation. The Department oversees all aspects of

1600-701: The Airport from Airport Management, to Fixed-Base Operations, to Airport Maintenance. The Airport is also home to the OSU Department of Aerospace Engineering & Aviation Gas Turbine Laboratory, several facilities operated by the OSU College of Agriculture, the Ohio Department of Transportation's Office of Aviation, fourteen corporate flight departments, and four flying clubs . Per a partnership with NetJets , whose headquarters are in Columbus,

1664-484: The CAB certificated subsidiary, Wright as the traditional small aircraft operation and the plating operation. By March 1971 the plating company was sold. Also in 1970, Wright entered into a contract with Eastern Air Lines to fly from Bowling Green, KY on Eastern’s behalf. Eastern petitioned the CAB to withdraw completely, while local politicians did everything they could to force Eastern itself back into Bowling Green. The lengthy CAB process ended September 1972, Eastern

1728-474: The Cleveland airports, for which Singerman’s excuse was that Wright lost track due to the merger. Wright had to reassure Clevelanders that, nonetheless, Wright was still flying from Cleveland. The merger wasn't the only thing distracting Singerman. For instance, he was involved with a new company, Advanced Turbo Manufacturing (ATM), that wanted to re-engine Convairliners (something that hadn't been done since

1792-663: The Lake Erie ice, killing all nine on board. TAG was quickly in financial distress. In March, Wright agreed to acquire TAG for $ 3mm (about $ 20mm in 2024 dollars). In July, the slow-moving CAB rejected this seemingly sensible solution, notwithstanding TAG’s imminent demise. When TAG stopped flying due to lack of financial resources, the CAB blithely ordered it back in the air. TAG had no money, so that didn’t happen. The CAB, showing no flexibility whatsoever, required Wright to go through another investigation before it finally agreed to certificate Wright for DET-BKL instead, in early 1972. It

1856-463: The U.S. For example, several airports in Alaska have scheduled commercial service, such as Stebbins and Nanwalek , which use FAA codes instead of ICAO codes. Thus, neither system completely includes all airports with scheduled service. Some airports are identified in colloquial speech by their IATA code. Examples include LAX and JFK . Wright Air Lines On the surface, Wright Air Lines

1920-481: The United States, because "Y" was seldom used in the United States, Canada simply used the weather station codes for its airports, changing the "Y" to a "Z" if it conflicted with an airport code already in use. The result is that most major Canadian airport codes start with "Y" followed by two letters in the city's name (for example, YOW for O tta w a , YWG for W innipe g , YYC for C algar y , or YVR for V ancouve r ), whereas other Canadian airports append

1984-512: The University's department of aviation also founded the Ohio State University Center for Aviation Studies, which provides funding for research projects and student scholarships and fellowships as well as conducting economic and public policy studies in technical projects. The OSU Airport is a Part 139 Certificated Airport, serving as a general aviation reliever for the nearby John Glenn Columbus International Airport . It

2048-440: The airport itself instead of the city it serves, while another code is reserved which refers to the city itself which can be used to search for flights to any of its airports. For instance: Or using a code for the city in one of the major airports and then assigning another code to another airport: When different cities with the same name each have an airport, they need to be assigned different codes. Examples include: Sometimes,

2112-418: The airport's former name, such as Orlando International Airport 's MCO (for Mc C o y Air Force Base), or Chicago's O'Hare International Airport , which is coded ORD for its original name: Or char d Field. In rare cases, the code comes from the airport's unofficial name, such as Kahului Airport 's OGG (for local aviation pioneer Jimmy H ogg ). In large metropolitan areas, airport codes are often named after

2176-502: The code SHA, while the newer Shanghai–Pudong adopted PVG. The opposite was true for Berlin : the airport Berlin–Tegel used the code TXL, while its smaller counterpart Berlin–Schönefeld used SXF; the Berlin Brandenburg Airport has the airport code BER, which is also part of its branding. The airports of Hamburg (HAM) and Hannover (HAJ) are less than 100 nautical miles (190 km) apart and therefore share

2240-407: The end, Wright walked away from ANE, with its owners doing the same, shutting Air New England on October 31, 1981. As an industry source noted, “Air New England didn’t have anything to sell.” Two years later, however, on September 30, 1983, Wright merged with Aeromech Airlines , a West Virginia airline. The merger was quickly fatal. The first sign of trouble was a half-million dollar unpaid bill to

2304-934: The end. Examples include: A lot of minor airfields without scheduled passenger traffic have ICAO codes but not IATA codes, since the four letter codes allow more number of codes, and IATA codes are mainly used for passenger services such as tickets, and ICAO codes by pilots. In the US, such airfields use FAA codes instead of ICAO. There are airports with scheduled service for which there are ICAO codes but not IATA codes, such as Nkhotakota Airport/Tangole Airport in Malawi or Chōfu Airport in Tokyo, Japan. There are also several minor airports in Russia (e.g., Omsukchan Airport ) which lack IATA codes and instead use internal Russian codes for booking. Flights to these airports cannot be booked through

2368-471: The first quarter; the prior year had been break even. In August Wright announced a second quarter loss of $ 770,000 on revenues of $ 8.8mm. By September 28, Wright was in Chapter 11, after Shorts sued to repossess five newly-delivered 360s on which Wright failed to pay rent. By November, Wright exited every route than Cleveland to Detroit (both DET-BKL and CLE-DTW, despite the presence of six other airlines on

2432-557: The first three letters of the city in which it is located, for instance: The code may also be a combination of the letters in its name, such as: Sometimes the airport code reflects pronunciation, rather than spelling, namely: For many reasons, some airport codes do not fit the normal scheme described above. Some airports, for example, cross several municipalities or regions, and therefore, use codes derived from some of their letters, resulting in: Other airports—particularly those serving cities with multiple airports—have codes derived from

2496-596: The following destinations: As of November 1966, the Wright fleet was three Beech E-18s , one Beech D-95 (Travel Air) and a Beech 33 (Debonair). World Airline Fleets 1979 lists Wright as having six Convair 600s, registrations N74850 thru N74855. The airline flew a wide range of aircraft types at various times during its existence which were selected according to the specific route and projected number of passengers on each route: Wright acquired Bandeirantes when it purchased Aeromech October 1, 1983. The airline had

2560-478: The following format: Most large airports in Canada have codes that begin with the letter "Y", although not all "Y" codes are Canadian (for example, YUM for Yuma, Arizona , and YNT for Yantai , China), and not all Canadian airports start with the letter "Y" (for example, ZBF for Bathurst, New Brunswick ). Many Canadian airports have a code that starts with W, X or Z, but none of these are major airports. When

2624-597: The form of " YYZ ", a song by the rock band Rush , which utilizes the Morse code signal as a musical motif. Some airports have started using their IATA codes as brand names , such as Calgary International Airport (YYC) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Numerous New Zealand airports use codes that contain the letter Z, to distinguish them from similar airport names in other countries. Examples include HLZ for Hamilton , ZQN for Queenstown , and WSZ for Westport . Predominantly, airport codes are named after

2688-470: The importance of that route. Nothing was said of profitability. But in June 1969, Weller sold out to Don Schneller, an original Wright Air Lines director and bank executive. Schneller took over knowing Wright had very likely lost a CAB certification award to its competitor, TAG. TAG and Wright petitioned the CAB for certification to fly larger aircraft on DET-BKL. Since the advent of local service carriers in

2752-487: The international air booking systems or have international luggage transferred there, and thus, they are booked instead through the airline or a domestic booking system. Several heliports in Greenland have 3-letter codes used internally which might be IATA codes for airports in faraway countries. There are several airports with scheduled service that have not been assigned ICAO codes that do have IATA codes, especially in

2816-525: The late 1940s/early 1950s, only one small airline had been so certificated within the continental US, Aspen Airways , which received CAB certification for Denver-Aspen in 1967. The CAB examiner gave an initial opinion in favor of TAG in March 1969 on the basis of TAG’s superior finances, greater market longevity and plan to use superior equipment ( Fokker F-27 turboprops, and possible use of Fokker F-28 jets vs Wright’s plan for Convair 240 piston aircraft). It

2880-596: The latter). Singerman blamed the Aeromech system, but walked away from almost all of Wright's pre-merger system too. CLE-DTW duly got the ax in April 1985. In July, the bankruptcy court ruled Wright guilty of fraud and converted the case to Chapter 7 (liquidation). To finance the merger, Wright sold stock in February 1984 through notorious First Jersey Securities . The offering document said Wright would do one thing with

2944-407: The money and it was proved the company knew it would do something else. To his credit, Singerman got the case reverted to Chapter 11 by putting up his own money to allow the company to be sold and Wright stumbled on into the fourth quarter of 1985. According to its February 1, 1982 system timetable, Wright was operating Convair 600 turboprop aircraft on all of its scheduled passenger flights and

3008-612: The name of the airport itself, for instance: This is also true with some cities with a single airport (even if there is more than one airport in the metropolitan area of said city), such as BDL for Hartford, Connecticut 's B ra dl ey International Airport or Baltimore's BWI, for B altimore/ W ashington I nternational Airport ; however, the latter also serves Washington, D.C. , alongside Dulles International Airport (IAD, for I nternational A irport D ulles) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA, for D istrict of C olumbia A irport). The code also sometimes comes from

3072-421: The number of take-offs and landings, along with Cleveland Hopkins , John Glenn Columbus , Dayton , and Cincinnati Lunken . For the same time period, there were 143 aircraft based at the airport: 118 single-engine and 10 multi-engine airplanes as well as 11 jets and 4 helicopters . IATA airport code An IATA airport code , also known as an IATA location identifier , IATA station code , or simply

3136-416: The one they are located in: Other airport codes are of obscure origin, and each has its own peculiarities: In Asia, codes that do not correspond with their city's names include Niigata 's KIJ , Nanchang 's KHN and Pyongyang 's FNJ . EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg , which serves three countries, has three airport codes: BSL, MLH, EAP. Some cities have a name in their respective language which

3200-506: The same first and middle letters, indicating that this rule might be followed only in Germany. Many cities retain historical names in their airport codes, even after having undergone an official name/spelling/transliteration change: Some airport codes are based on previous names associated with a present airport, often with a military heritage. These include: Some airports are named for an administrative division or nearby city, rather than

3264-490: The same route – fewer than when small planes flew the route. In August 1975, the CAB approved Wright to fly to Columbus via Don Scott Airport , the airport owned by Ohio State University (OSU). The new service was not well received by the people living around the airport or OSU and they were able to force Wright out, the service lasting only from September 29 to December 15. Wright moved to Port Columbus International Airport – today’s John Glenn International Airport. This

3328-607: The smallest CAB airline by revenue, since CAB regulation captured some tiny Alaska carriers, but Wright was the smallest in the continental US . While waiting for the CAB, Schneller sold off the Twin Otters and, oddly, bought a seat-belt plating company in Jackson, Michigan (Miller Plating Group) in December 1969. At the time of the proposed TAG merger in 1970, Schneller envisioned future Wright having three divisions: TAG as

3392-500: The station code of Malton, Mississauga , where it is located). YUL is used for Montréal–Trudeau (UL was the ID code for the beacon in the city of Kirkland , now the location of Montréal–Trudeau). While these codes make it difficult for the public to associate them with a particular Canadian city, some codes have become popular in usage despite their cryptic nature, particularly at the largest airports. Toronto's code has entered pop culture in

3456-515: The two-letter code of the radio beacons that were the closest to the actual airport, such as YQX in Gander or YXS in Prince George . Four of the ten provincial capital airports in Canada have ended up with codes beginning with YY, including: Canada's largest airport is YYZ for Toronto Pearson (as YTZ was already allocated to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport , the airport was given

3520-529: The use of two letters allowed only a few hundred combinations; a three-letter system of airport codes was implemented. This system allowed for 17,576 permutations, assuming all letters can be used in conjunction with each other. Since the U.S. Navy reserved "N" codes, and to prevent confusion with Federal Communications Commission broadcast call signs , which begin with "W" or "K", the airports of certain U.S. cities whose name begins with one of these letters had to adopt "irregular" airport codes: This practice

3584-512: Was achieved. But when that finally happened, Wright instead used piston-powered Convair 440s . At year-end 1974, all CAB carriers combined had 77 piston aircraft (33 of those in Alaska) out of 2,513 total aircraft, 264 of them turboprops. So, while Wright now flew bigger equipment, it was not yet modern. In the 12 months to April 30, 1971, 72,000 passengers flew DET-BKL. In 1974, CAB certificated Wright, now with "big" airplanes, flew only 62,000 on

3648-525: Was bought by Airborne Freight Company, becoming the air operations of Airborne Express . Midwest Air Charter is thus the origin of ABX Air , and the reason Amazon Air has an operation in Wilmington, OH today. In September 1981, Wright signed a tentative $ 10 million purchase of Air New England (ANE), coincidentally another rare small airline certificated by the CAB in the 1970s. ANE lived off CAB subsidy; it had never been an economic proposition. In

3712-776: Was four Beech 18s and a Skyliner (a de Havilland Heron derivative) with four on order. Wright’s competitor to Detroit, TAG, flew the smaller de Havilland Dove . Also, in 1967, Wright went public. It's registration statement was for 150,000 shares at $ 6. In March 1968, Wright merged with Air Commuter, with a combined network comprising DET, Pittsburgh, Youngstown , Dayton , Columbus , Lima and Findlay from BKL. Air Commuter came with “heavy financial losses” and four DHC-6 Twin Otters . In July, Wright bought Tyme Air Lines of Columbus, which flew single-engined aircraft. In January 1969, Weller trumpeted Wright’s 1968 “record year” : 66,624 passengers, of which 45,421 were on BKL-DET, showing

3776-530: Was gone and so was Wright. Meanwhile, the airline progressively pulled out of other routes than DET-BKL. By January 1971, they were down to BKL-DET plus the Eastern contract work. Under Schneller, Wright flew its first profitable month ever in April 1970. Weller had never achieved a profit. Schneller promised turboprop Fairchild FH-227 aircraft (a somewhat larger US-built version of the F-27) once CAB certification

3840-474: Was no different than many other many other small turboprop airlines that collapsed in the early years of the deregulated US airline industry. What set Wright apart was: The airline's founder and first president was Gerald Weller, who worked for a year at TAG Airlines before establishing Wright, which was incorporated on May 18, 1966. TAG had served the DET-BKL route (among others) since 1957; Wright provided competing service starting June 27, 1966, initially with

3904-487: Was not well received by Ohio State or the airport's neighbors and they were able to force Wright out, the service lasting only from September 29 to December 15. Wright moved to Port Columbus International Airport – today’s John Glenn International Airport. The airport has three runways . Runway 9R/27L is the airport's main runway. It measures 5,004 x 100 ft (1525 x 30 m) and is paved with asphalt . Runway 9L/27R runs parallel to it; it measures 2994 x 100 ft (913 x 30 m) and

3968-511: Was serving Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport , Cincinnati , Columbus and Dayton in Ohio; Detroit City Airport and Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Michigan; and Louisville in Kentucky. Wright had expanded its route system by 1984 (see below) following the merger with Aeromech Airlines. According to its October 1, 1984 timetable, Wright served

4032-464: Was somewhat of a miracle the CAB acted at all; since 1969 it had, at industry request, been operating under a secret new route moratorium, a later notorious case of regulatory capture . The CAB had an elaborate taxonomy of the airlines it regulated. Wright was in the smallest scheduled category, generally labeled “air taxi” or similar (though the whole point of the certification was to allow Wright to operate aircraft larger than air taxis). Wright wasn’t

4096-500: Was unlikely (though not unheard of) that the board itself would overturn this finding, and generally conceded that whichever airline got the certificate would drive the other from the market. Weller and Schneller knew the CAB position by the time Weller ceded control to Schneller. Despite protests by Wright, on October 27, 1969, TAG’s certification by the CAB for BKL-DET was final. But in January 1970, one of TAG’s Doves crashed through
