The proximity of Columbus to major markets makes it one of the best locations in the country.  Located within 500 miles of cities like New York, Washington D.C., Chicago and Atlanta, Columbus' regional access to major population centers of the United States gives the city a distinct advantage to travelers and distribution operations.  Over 150 direct flights are available from Port Columbus International Airport; Rickenbacker International Airport has a foreign trade zone and numerous warehouse options.  

Columbus is a one day drive or a one hour flight away from:

  • 40% of U.S. population
  • 80% of U.S. Corporate Headquarters
  • 43% of U.S. manufacturing capacity
  • 29% of Canadian population

    • Columbus freeways include I-71, I-70 (a major east-west interstate), I-270 and I-670.  It is also one hour from Interstate 75, which serves markets such as Detroit, Cincinnati, Atlanta and Miami.  Commute time in Columbus averages slightly over 20 minutes, one of the best nationwide.
