Items Lost on the Plane

If you believe you've left an item on the aircraft after arriving at John Glenn Columbus Airport, you have several options. You can return to the gate where your flight disembarked, provided you're still within the secure area of the airport.

This desk can assist with items left on the plane or lost during the flight. If none of these options are viable, or if they prove unsuccessful, you can contact your airline directly. Each airline has its own policy regarding lost items, so it's essential to reach out to them as soon as possible.
