Columbia Metropolitan Airport (IATA: CAE, ICAO: KCAE) is the main airport for Columbia, South Carolina, located in the suburb of West Columbia.
Historically, the airport served as the primary training site for crews learning to fly the United States Army Air Forces's B-25 during World War II. It has also served as the hub for the abortive low-cost carrier Air South and is currently a hub for United Parcel Service. Since the late 1980s, capital improvements have been undertaken, including a renovated and expanded terminal, a new parking garage, the lengthening of the runways, and better interstate access.
