Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Int'l Reinvents Terminal & Market Strategy

The recently renovated terminal at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is a literal bricks-and-mortar representation of the dramatic contraction and changes the airport has experienced in the last seven years.

Now unneeded, the other two terminals are slated for demolition in the next few years. A series of reductions in service by Delta Air Lines sent CVG's total passenger volume into a free-fall (see chart on Page 10) and prompted the ter
