(Redirected from Hopkins International Airport)
'Cleveland Hopkins International Airport' is a public airport located 12 miles (≈19 km) southwest of downtown Cleveland, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA and is the largest airport in the state of Ohio. The airport lies just within the city limits of Cleveland.
The airport was named for former City Manager William R. Hopkins. It was founded in 1925, making it one of the oldest municipally owned airports in the United States. The airport has been the site of many airport firsts: the first air traffic control tower and the first airfield lighting system, both in 1930; and the first U.S. airport to be directly connected to a local or regional rail transit system, in 1968.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport handled 11,460,002 passengers in 2005, a growth of nearly 2% over 2004. It is a major hub for both Continental Airlines and its regional carrier ExpressJet. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, along with Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL) comprise the Cleveland Airport System operated by the City of Cleveland.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport recently celebrated its 80th anniversary and unveiled a new logo and marketing plan to better associate the airport with its mother city, Cleveland. There was discussion of dropping "Hopkins" from the airport's name and changing its FAA airport designator to CIA — Cleveland International — but the city ultimately kept the name as a result of discussions with the namesake's descendants. In late 2005, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport began a new campaign using the slogan "Travel Smart, Travel Well" to compete with the highly-successful and growing Akron-Canton Regional Airport, located approximately fifty miles to the south.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport covers 1,900 acres and has three runways:
★ Runway 6R/24L: 9,000 x 150 ft. (2,743 x 46 m), Surface: Concrete
As of 7/2007 this runway is closed so it could be expanded to 10,000
feet.
★ 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.
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 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.
All international arrivals (except those from Nassau, Toronto, and Montréal) arriving at Cleveland Hopkins deplane at a common-use U.S. Federal Inspection Service (FIS) 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 mid-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 (as explained above) and thus reducing congestion through the TSA checkpoint for connecting passengers who will continue to be re-screened and then emerge into Concourse A.
Passengers arriving from Nassau, Toronto, and Montréal need not pass through the FIS, since these three airports have US Border Pre-clearance facilities.
Continental Airlines began offering seasonal direct flights from Hopkins to London Gatwick Airport in 1999.[1] Continental Airlines was planning on launching a new route between Cleveland and Paris in May 2008, but has put plans for the route on hold. Continental also offers seasonal service to Cancún and Québec City, which uses the FIS facility upon arrival. On July 16, 2007, Continental Airlines announced that it would seek approval to begin flights from Cleveland to Shanghai via Newark to begin in 2009, but passengers returning from Shanghai will have already cleared Customs and Immigration at Newark.
Even though Cleveland offers non-stop service to these international destinations, Hopkins Airport does not have a duty free store.

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, and began a total refurbishment (and extension) of the 'C' Concourse -- which today is Continental's third-largest hub facility. In fact, 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.)
