WASHINGTON, DC (FOX19)- President Barack Obama mentioned the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport during a press conference with reporters in Washington on Tuesday.

President Obama was talking about the sequester and rebuilding things like rebuilding airports, roads and bridges and cited a study that ranked the world's top 100 airports.

"There was not a single U.S. airport that came in the top 25," he said. "I think Cincinnati airport came in 30th."

 

Some frequent fliers in the Tri-State had positive words to
say about CVG.

"I always like flying into Cincinnati. They have good
food. It's clean. It always is a smooth run. I don't experience a lot of
lines," said Ashley Cooper.
