IIRC, CO announced major expansion at CLE a couple times prior to 2007, only to be thwarted by recession of 2002 and jet fuel spike after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Ribbon cutting today. https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/cleveland/ribbon-cutting-cleveland-opportunity-corridor/95-99b38577-3cdf-49af-a38a-7babad4a7569 As for the name, I'd vote for Liberty Boulevard, but I'm a bit biased. 🙂

And meanwhile in Atlanta, they are planning a parade. I'll bet there will be a lot of Native Americans in attendance.

So what happens now - another waiting game?

I'm guessing the answer is yes since the RTA is funded by the Cuyahoga County sales tax.

When it works, it's a great decision. When it doesn't work, it's a stupid decision.

Cliffs should be in that list next year.

But with a new mayor, who knows what might happen. Maybe the city finally stops kicking the can down the road.

^ And AA was using DC 10s on some of those flights to LA and NY. AA ranked 2nd behind UA in service from CLE at the time.

My brother had one of their early albums fron the 70s. It contained Autobahn which was pretty cool even though I didn't understand the German lyrics.

But also losing distribution hub to PA.

They have to put up that tent first.

Based on the meetings that were held earlier this year, it sounded like nothing will begin until the passenger numbers return to pre-pandemic levels, and their estimate was 2024.

Unfortunately, I doubt CLE will ever be an airport bursting at the seams unless this region starts growing again. I think it is going to have to come primarily from the big boys - United, Delta, American - airlines committed to the region and not ones just looking to make a quick buck. Speaking of growth, what's happening with the CLE master plan? Is it going to sit and collect dust for the next few years just like the previous master plan?
