Those of us who are "The" Ohio State University Buckeye fans could not be more proud of the season our football coaches and players had this year.  Through adversity and perseverance our beloved Buckeyes came out on top as National Champions. 

But these teams don't play to empty stadiums.  They play for fans both far and wide across the state, country and even those traveling in from other parts of the world.  The only way that is possible is with our state and nation's vast network of airports.  Whether traveling on a commercial airline, business aviation or personal aircraft our airports are always ready to serve the traveling public.  That level of service involves thousands of hard working employees across the state at our 104 public-owned, public use airports.

One of the primary focuses of the Ohio Aviation Association is to work with our state elected officials on airport infrastructure funding and policies to enhance the traveling publics experience around the state.  We also work with the staff in the ODOT-Office of Aviation and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund projects that protect pilots and passengers and provide world-class airports.  So whether its college or professional football as well as other sports the path to championships run through both roads and runways.
