John Glenn Columbus International Airport will have a new nonstop flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico, via Southwest Airlines starting Feb. 13, the Columbus Regional Airport Authority announced.

Airport Authority President and CEO Daren Griffin said in a June 4 press release that San Juan is one of Columbus' top unserved destinations.

"We are grateful to Southwest Airlines for introducing this nonstop service starting in February – just in time for midwinter getaways,” Griffin said.

It's the second new Columbus nonstop starting in 2027 and the 12th new flight the airport has announced since the beginning of 2026.

John Glenn Columbus and Rickenbacker International Airport now have over 55 nonstop destinations, according to the airport authority, which operates the two airports as well as Bolton Field.
