CNN Airport Network is a satellite television network broadcasting general news, weather, stock market updates and features to airports across North America. The network debuted on January 20, 1992<ref>Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. website, accessed May 31, 2006.</ref>, and is currently shown in 42 airports around the world, on televisions located in gate and boarding areas.

It uses footage from the main CNN network and CNN Headline News as programming; however, it inserts more weather and travel segments, such as airport delays, into its programming than the other CNN networks.

Due to an agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration, it is the only 24-hour news channel that does not broadcast stories relating to airplane crashes and other aviation accidents. [citation needed] During the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the network essentially went off the air, only showing text directing viewers to other news sources.

The CNN Airport Network does have advertisements, but does not accept advertisements from any airline, to ensure that ads for one airline are not shown in another's gate area.

CNN Airport Network is run by Turner Private Networks, Inc., a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., a Time Warner company.
