Northwest Ohio

Most of the region's television channels and radio stations are licensed in Toledo, Perrysburg or nearby Bowling Green.

Though Toledo is an industrial city, Northwest Ohio is primarily agricultural with small centers of commerce distributed across region.

Just like any other region, there is no universally agreed-upon line for Northwestern Ohio, as the entire area is defined differently by the opinions of multiple people.

Toledo Express is also a major air cargo center, serving as the international hub for BAX Global.

Detroit Metro is a "fortress hub" for Delta Air Lines and offers both domestic and international flights.

General aviation users can also land at any one of approximately 40 public-use airports (both publicly and privately owned) in Northwest Ohio.

KTOL (Toledo Express) has the largest runway in Northwest Ohio at 10,600 x 150 ft, making it capable of handling nearly any aircraft at MTOW.
