A movie star and television host was seen inside the Columbia Metropolitan Airport.

Rob Lowe was photographed in front of a welcome sign at the airport, according to a post Tuesday by CAE on Facebook.

The reason for Lowe’s visit — a private charter guest of CAE aviation services — could not be disclosed, according to CAE spokesperson Kim Crafton.

“We were glad he chose to fly out of CAE and welcome him back anytime,” Crafton said.

Lowe, 62, who has appeared in more than a dozen films and television shows — including Wayne’s World and A Perfect Day — began hosting a television show in 2024 called The Floor, where contestants compete in a trivia game.
