Pilot and Crew Amenities

The Ohio State University Airport (KOSU) welcomes pilots and crew to the Austin E. Knowlton Executive Terminal & Aviation Learning Center. KOSU has a variety of facilities and amenities, including the John H. McConnell-Worthington Industries Flight Hub, relaxing day rooms, NetJets Lobby and Observation Deck, quiet study spots and a modern finished main terminal. A description and images of each are provided below. At KOSU we are dedicated to providing a feeling of your home away from home – it's called being a Buckeye.

Main Terminal and NetJets Lobby

Our large open terminal with modern amenities gives pilots, crew and travelers the opportunity to wait for their next trip in relaxation. Our front desk crew is happy to help point you in the right direction of anything you may need. Don’t forget to grab a cup of our fresh locally brewed coffee, then kick back and relax.

John H. McConnell – Worthington Indutries Flight Hub

Our pilot lounge includes a mapping table, kitchenette, snacks and drinks, along with individual washrooms. The lounge also includes not one, but six cable TVs. There is a designated business center within the lounge that has multiple computers so that pilots and crew may chat, coordinate and plan in a secluded area. The lounge directly connects to our flight school, which enables networking opportunities for the next generation of aviation professionals.

NetJets Observation Deck

Our NetJets Observation Deck has a fantastic panoramic view of the airfield with comfortable seating and chairs. It is truly the perfect place to take some personal time to let your thoughts and stress fly away. There is easy access to the observation deck from either the stairs or elevator, both located at the terminal entrance.
