Have you lost something at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport ? Whether you were connecting through Delta’s hub or ending your trip in the Cincinnati area, this page explains how to report a lost item and get it back.
About Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is a hub for Delta Air Lines, which flies a large share of the schedule, and it is also served by American Airlines and other domestic carriers. It has grown into a major base for Amazon Air cargo as well, though passenger lost property is handled entirely through the terminal.
Passenger services run from the main terminal building, with TANK bus routes on both the Kentucky and Cincinnati sides of the river.
Yes, the Airport Is in Kentucky
It catches people out, so it is worth stating plainly. Despite carrying Cincinnati’s name, the airport actually sits in Hebron, Kentucky, about 21 kilometres southwest of downtown Cincinnati and across the Ohio River. This rarely matters until you are trying to return for a lost item and find yourself giving a driver the wrong state. If you are arranging to collect something, or sending someone on your behalf, make sure they are heading to Hebron rather than into Cincinnati itself.
Reporting a Lost Item at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport
Inside the airport, head to the lost and found office at baggage claim, where found property is logged and stored. Once you have left, you can open a report by phone or through our platform; describe the concourse or area, the approximate time and what the item looks like.

If you left it in your seat, the airport office cannot help; the airline recovers cabin property. Contact your carrier with the flight number and seat so the aircraft can be checked.

Where Belongings Turn Up at CVG
A few spots come up again and again :
- Security screening and its trays
- Gate seating along the concourses
- Baggage claim carousels
- The parking shuttle stop, reached by road or TANK bus
- The rental car area, where arriving passengers often head first
How Long CVG Holds What It Finds
Unclaimed items are kept for up to 30 days before being discarded or reallocated, so this is not a case where you can leave it for a couple of months. If you are following up from out of town, act within that window : arrange for someone to collect with written authorisation and matching identification, or ask the office whether the item can be couriered to you.
