Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (IATA: CLE, ICAO: KCLE, FAA LID: CLE) is
a public airport located nine miles (14 km) southwest of the central business
district of Cleveland, a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States. The
airport lies just within the city limits of Cleveland and it is the largest
airport in the State of Ohio.
The airport (CLE) was founded in 1925, making it the first municipally owned
airport in the United States. The airport has been the site of many airport
firsts: the first air traffic control tower, ground to air radio control and the
first airfield lighting system, all in 1930, and the first U.S. airport to be
directly connected to a local or regional rail transit system, in 1968. CLE was
named after its founder, former, City Manager William R. Hopkins on his 82nd
birthday in 1951.
CLE handled 11.3 million passengers in 2006 and will surpass that total in 2007
with a 1.5% growth rate through the Fall of 2007. It is the third largest hub
for Continental Airlines and its regional carriers ExpressJet and Chautauqua,
which operates its second largest hub from the airport. Cleveland Hopkins
International Airport, along with Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL)
comprise the Cleveland Airport System operated by the City of Cleveland's
Department of Port Control.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport unveiled a new marketing and branding
campaign with the start of their new management team lead by Director, Ricky D.
Smith, who joined the Cleveland Airport System in June of 2006. The slogan, CLE
Going places will depict the airport's pursuit of improving the passengers'
experience as they upgrade the airport facility and negotiate additional air
services. Numerous plans are underway including upgrades to the restaurant and
store concessions program, taxi service, on-site parking, customer service areas
and the attraction of additional flights to new destinations with the airport's
new air service development program begun in 2007.
Facilities and aircraft
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport covers an area of 1,900 acres (769
ha)[1] which contains three runways:
* Runway 6R/24L: 8,999 x 150 ft. (2,743 x 46 m), Surface: Concrete
o As of 7/2007 this runway is closed so it can be expanded to 9,956 feet.[2]
* Runway 6L/24R: 9,000 x 150 ft. (2,743 x 46 m), Surface: Concrete
* Runway 10/28: 6,017 x 150 ft. (1,834 x 46 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
The older parallel runway, now designated Runway 6C/24C, is 7,096 x 150 ft.
(2163 x 46 m). Its ends are prominently marked with lighted 'X' signs to prevent
its inadvertent use, though it is in use temporarily while 6R/24L is out of
service.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2005, the airport had 258,926
aircraft operations, an average of 709 per day: 64% air taxi, 31% scheduled
commercial, 5% general aviation and <1% military. There are 47 aircraft based at
this airport: 49% jet, 30% single engine, 13% multi-engine and 9% military.[1]
Airlines and destinations
Hopkins airport is known for its fanciful giant "paper" airplane sculptures
located in the underground walkway between Concourses C and D.
Hopkins airport is known for its fanciful giant "paper" airplane sculptures
located in the underground walkway between Concourses C and D.
The airport has one main terminal which is divided into Concourses A, B, C, D.
Concourse D is a separate terminal that is connected from the main terminal by
an underground walkway. Concourse D is occupied by Continental Express (operated
by ExpressJet Airlines and Chautauqua Airlines) and Continental Connection
(operated by CommutAir). Concourse C is occupied with the larger Continental
Aircraft serving Cleveland.
The only foreign-flag carrier to serve Cleveland Hopkins is Air Canada, which
offers daily non-stop flights to Toronto via its regional affiliate, Air Canada
Jazz. In February 2006, Aeromexico applied for and received approval to begin
non-stop service to Mexico City, but the service never began and Aeromexico did
not seek renewal of the route authority.
International arrivals
All international arrivals (except those from Nassau, Ottawa, Toronto, and
Montréal, which have have United States border preclearance facilities) arriving
at Cleveland Hopkins deplane at a common-use U.S. Customs and Border Protection
facility, located at the end of Concourse A. Arriving passengers deplaning at
the FIS proceed to the lower-level, clear U.S. immigration, claim checked
baggage and then proceed through Customs and other inspection services.
As in other airports without a dedicated International Arrivals, after clearing
inspection, both connecting and terminating passengers must place their checked
luggage on a conveyor belt and then clear a standard TSA security checkpoint
before emerging from the FIS via escalator to the departure-level of Concourse
A. Terminating passengers proceed toward baggage claim and re-claim their
baggage on a designated carousel; connecting passengers' may proceed to their
next departure gate, as their luggage is checked-through to their final
destination.
As of 2007, plans are underway for a new shuttle that will transport terminating
passengers directly from the FIS to the baggage claim, eliminating the need for
these passengers to re-clear TSA security and thus reducing congestion through
the TSA checkpoint for connecting passengers who will continue to be re-screened
and then emerge into Concourse A.[citation needed]
Continental Airlines began offering seasonal direct flights from Hopkins to
London Gatwick Airport in 1999.[3] Continental Airlines will be launching a new
route between Cleveland and Paris beginning May 22, 2008. Continental also
offers seasonal service to Cancún and Québec City, which uses the FIS facility
upon arrival. On September 25, 2007, the United Department of Transportation
tentatively gave Continental Airlines authorization to fly from Cleveland to
Shanghai via Newark beginning March 25, 2009. The route will be a "through
flight" service, and passengers will have to switch to a larger aircraft after
arriving in Newark.[4]
Although the airport offers non-stop service to international destinations, it
does not have a duty-free shop.
Concourse A
Concourse A, originally known as the "North Concourse", is the newest of CLE's
three concourses (built in 1978). US Airways,(then called "USAir") operated a
small hub from this concourse between 1985-1991.[5]

York-LaGuardia)

o United Express operated by SkyWest (Chicago-O'Hare, Denver)
Concourse C
Concourse C, originally known as the South Concourse when it opened in 1968, is
the airport's second-oldest concourse. Concourse C was, until 1985, one of the
main hub operations for United Airlines. United slowly cut flights from Hopkins
as it slowly built a new hub at Dulles International Airport near Washington,
D.C.. By 1987, United had closed its hub at Hopkins and moved its operations to
the 'B' Concourse. Continental Airlines quickly established a hub in Cleveland
to fill the void left by United (Continental and sister Eastern Airlines already
occupied gates in this concourse) and began a total refurbishment (and
extension) of the 'C' Concourse -- which today is Continental's third-largest
hub facility. The legacy of United's once hub-status in Cleveland remained well
into the 1990s, as United's check-in counters remained closest to the security
checkpoint for Concourse 'C'. (United's counter was moved closer to the security
checkpoint for Concourse 'B' in the late 1990s to allow for an expansion of
Continental's counter.)
