The white arrow on the runway points the way the traffic is going. Derived from the positions of aircraft flying low near the airport right now. Not an official runway plan; what we see.
Designation, direction and length of every runway. These rarely change; which one is in use right now shows up here whenever we observe traffic.

An average of 14.3 aircraft observations per day: that is what our own receivers logged near Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport over the past 30 days. The airport, listed under IATA code CVG and ICAO code KCVG and known simply as CVG Airport, serves Cincinnati and Covington in the United States from its position at coordinates 39.0488, -84.6678, and it carries the label large airport in our database, even though the traffic we measure there sits at a moderate level. That combination is worth knowing before you read the live radar on this page: CVG is a big field by classification, but on an ordinary day our measurement sees a steady, countable stream of aircraft rather than an endless one. The radar answers the immediate question, which aircraft are arriving and departing right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it give the status of each individual flight; the measured figures below tell you how CVG behaves over a full month.
The numbers on this page come from our own reception measurement, and over 30 consecutive days that measurement produced an average of 14.3 aircraft observations per day near CVG. Averages hide variation, but as a yardstick this one is useful: it sits alongside the moderate traffic level CVG has in our data, and it gives you a baseline to judge a quiet afternoon or a crowded evening against.
The busiest window in the measurement fell between 17:00 and 19:00. Note that our measurement clock runs in UTC: those two hours are not Cincinnati wall-clock time, so convert them to local time before you plan around them. And keep the nature of the data in mind: these are aircraft our measurement picked up near the airport, nothing more and nothing less.
The airline we record at CVG is Delta Air Lines. In the same 30-day window, our measurement contains 54 observations of Delta aircraft near the airport. If the flight you are waiting for is a Delta flight, the Delta flight status page is the place to look.
Our database lists three airfields near CVG, each with its distance from the airport. The closest is Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field at 22 km. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base follows at 101 km, and James M. Cox Dayton International Airport at 102 km, almost the same distance as the air force base. The distances are the plain geography; which field is a realistic alternative depends on your trip.
