Columbia Metropolitian Airport

The Columbia Metropolitan Airport is located six miles from downtown Columbia, S.C., the state's capital. The airport is serviced by Continental, Delta and Delta Connection, Independence Air, Northwest, United Express and US Airways for a total of 14 nonstop destinations primarily along the East Coast. A recent terminal renovation project included expanding the ticket counter and baggage claim, adding a covered walk way between the terminal and parking lot and installing a state-of-the-art air conditioning system - a blessing in the muggy South. The airport plays tribute to Columbia's past and future by combining images of the antebellum South with modern features like a large central atrium with a blue pyramidal roof.
