City Overview
Columbus is home to John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), which processed over 9 million passengers in 2024 across two concourses and 36 gates, five Fortune 500 headquarters, the largest university campus in the United States by enrollment (Ohio State University, 60,000+ students), and the site of Intel’s $20 billion semiconductor fabrication campus in New Albany. Ground transportation here presents specific challenges: the I-270 Outerbelt carries over 100,000 vehicles daily on its busiest segments, the I-70/I-71 Downtown split creates bottlenecks during morning and evening peaks, and Ohio State football Saturdays shut down the University District entirely for 102,780-seat stadium events.
As a Columbus black car service, Nebo Rides provides flight-tracked airport transfers from CMH’s ground transportation level, FBO coordination at Rickenbacker and OSU Airport, and corporate account management for recurring executive travel between Downtown, Dublin, and New Albany. The sections below detail each service, route, and operational protocol.

Columbus Airports We Serve
John Glenn Columbus International
9M+ Annual Passengers
Rickenbacker International
Cargo/Charter Hub, 12,100-ft Runway
Ohio State University Airport
General Aviation, 4 Miles NW of Campus
For commercial Columbus airport transfer service, chauffeurs meet passengers curbside at CMH’s lower-level ground transportation zone or provide meet-and-greet service at baggage claim with a name sign. The airport sits 7 miles east of Downtown Columbus off I-670, and every arrival is flight-tracked so drivers adjust automatically for delays or early gate arrivals. Rickenbacker International (LCK) serves charter and cargo-adjacent private aviation clients 15 miles south of Downtown, with FBO-to-vehicle coordination and tarmac pickup available on the 12,100-foot runway complex.
OSU Airport is the preferred general aviation field for Dublin and Upper Arlington business travelers, located 4 miles northwest of campus. Learn more about our airport transfers.
The Protocol

Logistics
Real-Time Traffic Routing
Real-time routing to bypass the I-70/I-71 Downtown split and I-270 Outerbelt congestion. Alternate corridors via SR-315, US-33, and I-670 during peak hours (7:00-8:45 AM, 4:00-6:30 PM) reduce transit times across the metro. Chauffeurs monitor live traffic feeds to select the fastest corridor between CMH, Downtown, and the western suburbs.
Gameday Operations
OSU Football Saturdays
OSU football Saturdays require pre-staged vehicles north of campus, controlled-access zone awareness between Lane Avenue and Woody Hayes Drive, and post-game extraction coordination timed to the final whistle. Ohio Stadium seats 102,780, making it the third-largest stadium in the country. Seven home games per fall generate the city's most concentrated traffic disruption.
Connectivity
FBO-to-Corporate Campus Transfers
FBO-to-corporate campus transfers linking CMH and OSU Airport to Downtown, Dublin, and New Albany offices within 15-30 minutes on non-peak corridors. Direct vehicle staging at all fixed-base operators ensures principals move from tarmac to conference room without delay.
