CNN Airport Network alternates between live simulcasts of CNN and HLN programming. It also airs additional weather, business, and travel segments, such as airport delays, in its programming. CNN Airport Network also airs select live sports programming from the NFL and the NBA.

CNN Airport Network broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with round-the-clock technical and editorial staffing. Because it broadcasts in public waiting areas CNN Airport Network will not air graphic video coverage of commercial air accidents or incidents, unless the incident involves a national emergency or threat to security. CNN Airport Network also screens out material that is either sexually explicit or portrays graphic violence. During these segments, a flash cut to a weather map will occur.

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.
