About Greater Cumberland Regional Airport
Greater Cumberland Regional Airport (IATA: CBE, ICAO: KCBE, FAA LID: CBE) is a public airport in the town of Wiley Ford in Mineral County, West Virginia, United States. It is two miles (3 km) south of Cumberland (population 21,518) in Allegany County, Maryland. Although the airport is in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia, the FAA lists this as a Maryland airport. No major airlines fly here, with the nearest major airport being Johnstown–Cambria County Airport about 66 miles (106 km) away in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, as well as Hagerstown Regional Airport in Hagerstown, Maryland. In addition, it is situated in close proximity to Interstate 68 and U.S. Route 220, which both run through the nearby city of Cumberland.
On the second level of the airport terminal is the Cohongaronta Gallery (Cohongaronta being a Shawnee name for the Potomac River) with an array of displays on the history of the Potomac Highlands area. The centerpiece of the gallery is a 40% scale replica of the Wright Brothers 1903 Wright Flyer. A 70-foot-long (21 m) time line highlights dates and events for the Potomac Highlands region. The gallery is open to the public during terminal business hours.
