BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WBOY) — West Virginia University Athletics announced on Wednesday that it has finalized a partnership with the North Central West Virginia Airport (CKB), naming it “The Official Airport of WVU Athletics.”
The partnership is facilitated through WVU’s multimedia rightsholder—Learfield’s Mountaineer Sports Properties—and is set to last through 2027.
WVU Athletic Director Wren Baker expressed his excitement for the partnership, saying that the airport has a “proven commitment to providing safe and reliable air travel.”
The announcement of the partnership comes in the midst of construction on CKB’s new $25 million terminal project that CKB Director Rick Rock said will “be a beautiful facility and something that’s going to be in service for a long time to come.”
“We are eager to contribute to the fan experience by ensuring seamless travel for Mountaineer enthusiasts from across the country. With our new CKB terminal opening this Fall, the timing is perfect to intertwine these two great entities together,” Rock said.
