• In 2018, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) continued to be one of the fastest-growing airports in the U.S. The airport served 8.9 million passengers, its largest volume since 2010, representing more than 1.1 million more passengers compared to 2017. 

    CVG’s local passenger volumes set new records eight months in a row, growing 13.9 percent over 2017.

    For the first time in its history, CVG experienced annual cargo tonnage of more than 1.2 million tons (2.4 billion pounds), an increase of 19.6 percent over 2017.

    Airfares at CVG were at an all-time low throughout 2018. Passengers are paying on average $240 less per ticket than four years ago.

    And, the airport continues a major capital improvement program, investing $345 million over the next few years to make travel through CVG an unforgettably positive experience. Roadway construction began in 2018 to create a new entrance road and to make way for the construction of a consolidated rental car facility.
