July 23, 201014 yr How many here travel on a regular bases. The average is 16-18 round trips a year. According to the latest Scarborough study for the Cleveland DMA, 16% of respondents flew one domestic flight last year, 19% flew more than once, and 65% did't fly in the past 12 months.

July 23, 201014 yr Today, in USA Today's "Today in the Sky Blog" the CEO of Airtran was quoted as seeing opportunity in Cleveland for Airtran if the CO hub is downsized or eliminated. (Is that a nonstop to Atlanta or Milwaukee? be still, my heart :roll:) As for the hub, I am starting to get that "LeBron" feeling, as Mr. Smisek has been unwilling to give clear indication of CLE's future in the system, even while announcing new routes from Houston to Auckland and Lagos. He definitely knows what their plan is for IAH. Perhaps the PD should start a HUB-O-METER to replace the LeBron-O-Meter :wink:. You also have to understand that CLE is the about the only CAL/UAL hub where the airline has some leverage to negotiate. Mainaining a hub at EWR/IAH/IAD/ORD/DEN is pretty much a given. CLE is a variable. CLE is in need of many upgrades and CAL can use this need as leverage for better terms. The present level of service being maintained by CAL in a severe recession at a hub that's economically "distressed" leads me to beleive that if they haven't closed or downsized it already, its a pretty safe bet that it will continue. So, yes Simisek is being vague. Also, consider yields that CAL earns per PAX. CLE's yields are actually higher than I beleive all of the other hubs.

LOL I would like to see numbers for other hubs/focus cities.
July 23, 201014 yr OK, from the Scarborough USA survey (which is about a half year older than the local Cleveland survey, so it may not have the full effects of the recession) 15% flew once 24% more than once 61% didn't fly Scarborough USA covers the whole country, and has 221,356 survey respondents. The Cleveland survey has a little over 2200 respondents. The Cleveland survey has a margin of error of between 2 and 3%. And to answer another question - the DMA is the 17 county TV market - NE Ohio except for Trumbull and Mahoning Counties.
July 23, 201014 yr The average is 16-18 round trips a year. Do you have a source for that figure? Yep. It was a number given in 2009 by the PANYNJ at a conference I attended.
July 23, 201014 yr What is the population of people that flies 16-18 round trip flights per year? Everyone?

LOL I would like to see numbers for other hubs/focus cities. As I wrote above, If CAL wanted to close CLE they would have done it already back in 2008 when the recession was deepening. To breakdow those precentages by numbers, if 15% flew once and there are 3.5 million people in the DMA, then that means 525,000 flew once. Thats 1,439 pax per day avg. But 24% or 840,000 flew more than once. That's an additional 2,300 pax per day avg. Don't forget CLE's O&D is in the 7 to 8 million range and CAL captures aprox 65% to 70 % of that.

I knew you'd have more indepth information. I thought O&D at CLE was over 10 million.
July 23, 201014 yr I can get comparable numbers for the New York market. However, it will need to be at lunchtime, since I've got to go and start doing this for the people who pay me.
July 23, 201014 yr What is the population of people that flies 16-18 round trip flights per year? Everyone? Everyone That doesn't seem right to me. According to a USA Today article roughly 700 million people flew on US airlines in 2009 (http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2010-03-12-airtravel12_ST_N.htm). If you assume 17 round trips per person per year that is 5.27 billion passengers per year (assuming a passenger is only counted once for a round trip). And if you're talking global passengers then the numbers just get ridiculous. Can you explain you're 16-18 figure?

It's average household has 16-18 flights a year. It doesn't define what the household number is so I based that on 4 people.
July 23, 201014 yr OK, here are the numbers for New York. The newest survey I have for New York is 2008, so you can probably knock the numbers down by 1 or 2 percent each, for the effect of the recession. But for the New York DMA (which is five times the size of the Cleveland DMA) Flown once in past 12 months: 14% More than once: 30% Did not fly: 56% and I've summed up the "more than once" out of several categories. The percent who flew 10 or more times was actually 2.9%. This was the Scarborough 2008 Release 1 - a survey of 12,761 respondents in the New York DMA. This survey's methodology is accredited by the Media Ratings Council - a consortium of media companies, advertising agencies, and consumer packaged goods companies. One other thing - all these measurements are for the 18+ population - they don't cover kids.
July 26, 201014 yr Did anyone see this today? I read it...and also viewed some of the comments below, and in typical Cleveland Dot Com fashion, the peanut gallery was just foaming at the mouth to bad mouth the idea with the typical "woe-is we" attitude! There is simply no pleasing the majority of this group....Amazing! :-o New Airmall at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport gives travelers more and better options Published: Monday, July 26, 2010, 8:00 AM Los Angeles traveler Aileen Garrigues used to wrinkle her nose at changing planes at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport -- but no longer. On a recent morning she praised what she'd seen of the airport's retail makeover while enjoying vanilla and strawberry frozen yogurt from the Bananas Smoothies & Frozen Yogurt shop she found a few days earlier between another set of flights. "I'm a repeat customer," said Garrigues. "I sought this place out. Even if I didn't.... Read the rest at: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/07/new_airmall_at_cleveland_hopki.html
July 26, 201014 yr Just to add to the negativity a little, I admit Hopkins is pretty embarrassing when compared to other airports due to poor architectural and aesthetic designs. That said, it's great they are embracing healthier food choices and other concession investments. This article is a pleasant surprise and this is a good step to improving the facilities in total.
July 26, 201014 yr ^ I don't see your comments as so much negative. Rather, they simply acknowledge the need for improvement. But, some of the posters on CDC....read an article about the attempt to make big improvements..But still find the the turd-in-the-punchbowl about it. Well, I suppose we all can do that sometimes, but those forumers never fail to please in that department.
July 27, 201014 yr I for one am pleasantly surprised at the progress. It's been about six months since I travelled for business(new baby) and the person I was travelling with made a comment about how clean and organised the airport was. I think the Airmall has done a fantastic job with what they have to work with.
July 28, 201014 yr Per OAG, the latest scheduled airline changes for CLE are below. Read: airline, route, current frequencies per day to future frequencies per day, and the effective date: AA: ORD-CLE 4>5 AUG-NOV No other route/frequency additions/deletions from any of the other carriers at CLE.
August 2, 201014 yr American Eagle is bringing back CLE-MIA service, 2X Daily, beginning 18 NOV. Its only an Embraer-145 (about 50 seats)--but its a new carrier on the route--and provides competition to the CO service. AA 3614 CLE 0630-0935 MIA ER4 Daily AA 3691 CLE 1720-2020 MIA ER4 Daily AA 3615 MIA 0840-1130 CLE ER4 Daily AA 3690 MIA 2000-2255 CLE ER4 Daily
August 2, 201014 yr Isn't this a small sardine can plane? If so, is this the best to this destination?
August 2, 201014 yr of course a mainline flight would be nicer, but its either this or nothing. AA pulled out of Cleveland around 5 years ago, so as far as AA is concerned (and their giant hub at MIA) its American Eagle and their small aircraft or nothing. CO Express also flies the route and uses the same type of bird--ERJ-145.
August 2, 201014 yr So with Ohio having as many visitors to Florida as oranges on the orange trees... Is this the only size craft available to get there? Just curious.
August 2, 201014 yr "Florida" is a big place--its more than one market. to MIA, the ERJ is what works (is profitable) for the airlines, so yes, its the only size "available". for other markets like FLL, TPA, and MCO, CO uses 737's. For PBI, CO uses an Embraer.
August 3, 201014 yr So if I want to go to Orlando or Tampa, I have to take one of these? I remember going 737. I am just tired of these scrap flights.
August 3, 201014 yr But if they are the only ones that are profitable then why would the airlines run anything else? Also, if you re-read the post, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando all use 737's.
August 3, 201014 yr So if I want to go to Orlando or Tampa, I have to take one of these? I remember going 737. I am just tired of these scrap flights. No. Continental flies 737's to Orlando from Cleveland. And United and Continental fly 737's into Tampa.
August 3, 201014 yr of course a mainline flight would be nicer, but its either this or nothing. AA pulled out of Cleveland around 5 years ago, so as far as AA is concerned (and their giant hub at MIA) its American Eagle and their small aircraft or nothing. CO Express also flies the route and uses the same type of bird--ERJ-145. AA pulled out of Cleveland??? That's news to me. If you mean American stopped flying mainline jets out of Cleveland or having point-to-point service (to the NE and NC) then you're correct. But American/American Eagle has not ceased operations in Cleveland.
August 3, 201014 yr No problem... Just wondering. I have not been in a long time. I really do not like Florida anyway... (not naturally speaking...but what it has become) Haven't fancied it since the mid 70's, really, so just wondered if I did go and needed to fly...that if these were the only things available out of here. I also don't think it would be very "profitable" for Florida to suddenly lose a lot of tourism dollars from the north, either, so perhaps the airlines might want to not conveniently forget that. By the way, I was just doing a flight search and the results showed AA operating from Cleveland. Pretty sure I saw this...

It's been about six months since I travelled for business(new baby) and the person I was travelling with made a comment about how clean and organised the airport was. I think the Airmall has done a fantastic job with what they have to work with. Now, if we can only maintain it this way for a long time... The follow up aspects are most important and an often neglected thing.
August 3, 201014 yr If the airlines cannot make a profit using mainline jets, then regional jets are what they will use. Having regional jets from our hub (CO) to Miami's hub (AA) is better than nothing. If neither carrier is using mainline jets obviously the plane is matched to the market.
August 3, 201014 yr Were you looking at flights for this month? Not as much demand at the moment for flights going to Florida, compared to the winter. There may be more capacity, either more flights or larger planes, in the winter time.

Having regional jets from our hub (CO) to Miami's hub (AA) is better than nothing. If neither carrier is using mainline jets obviously the plane is matched to the market. Actually the economics of the RJ vs. mainline aren't much different but the mainline jet has F and or biz classes. So if there aren't premium pax on the city pair, then the RJ will win out. For AA's purpose, CLE - MIA mainly serves to connect pax to the caribbean and s. america. CAL does this through EWR too. Also remember, the main s. florida detination from CLE is FLL not MIA.

Are FLL/MIA/PBI considered leisure markets? Is that why CO often changes plane types based on the time of the year. I dont think AA O&D on the MIA/CLE is that high, but connecting as you say. It would surprise me if there were many AA passengers in the CLE market at it's mainly CO or United. My mom worked for AA for 30+ years and she said NYC/CLE route was very busy as it connected to JFK. When she worked there MIA wasn't that big of a hub, until it absorbed Eastern Routes. Now its the number one hub to Latin America and the Islands. I read something that in winter they use larger plans to FL, AZ and the Carribean and/or have mroe frequencies, becuase its peak season.
August 3, 201014 yr So if I want to go to Orlando or Tampa, I have to take one of these? I remember going 737. I am just tired of these scrap flights. EC--airlines change equipment all the time based on the day of the week and time of day. For the next four weeks, CO is using the following equipment between CLE and FL: FLL--all 73G/738/739 RSW--ERJ/735/738 MIA--all ERJ (except on 7 Aug and 14 Aug--which are 735's) MCO--most are 738/735/739/73G, though 2 specific flts over the next four weeks use an ERJ and there is one with a 753) TPA--all 735/738/739 PBI--all ERJ On USA3000: CLE-RSY all are A320's On Southwest: CLE-MCO-all are 737's AA pulled out of Cleveland??? That's news to me. If you mean American stopped flying mainline jets out of Cleveland or having point-to-point service (to the NE and NC) then you're correct. But American/American Eagle has not ceased operations in Cleveland. American and American Eagle are NOT the same thing. AA does not serve anywhere from CLE--not Chicago, DFW, MIA or anywhere. It was an embarrassing loss. The largest airline in the world (at the time) dropped CLE. And United and Continental fly 737's into Tampa. There is no UA metal flying CLE-TPA; there are probably code-share flights using CO aircraft. As stated above, all CO CLE-TPA service is on 735/738/739's.

American Eagle is the regional airline of American Airlines, just like Comair is to Delta. American and American Eagle are both owned by AMR. The reginal airlines connect smaller cities and airports that cannot sustain mainline aircraft with hubs. American is not our hub. There usually isn't mainline aircraft to other hubs unless it can be supported. Obviously the ORD/CLE city pair doesn't warrant mainline aircraft. But to say American pulled out of Cleveland is incorrect. Continental operates regional jets to all AA hubs.

If you wanna look at it that way Pugu, then American has practically pulled out of St. Louis, which used to be a hub. There are hardly any large jets there any more - most of the gates are filled with regional jets. It's just the way it is. But they're flying under the American name, therefore, they are American Airlines.... Just like ExpressJet, Republic, Chatauqua and whoever else flies under the Continental name. Would you say that Continental has pulled out of Cleveland if we got dropped to ERJ service only? Anyway, woo airmall! I now get p!ssed off when I have to pay rediculous airport food prices at other airports.

Well STL was TWA's main hub, once they were absorbed by AA, things went downhill and most mainline service moved to DFW and ORD. You're right, it's the way the airline business is now.
August 4, 201014 yr But to say American pulled out of Cleveland is incorrect. To fly "American" out of Cleveland means it will not be like flying on "American" in any other city they serve--its means you're on a regional aircraft and that aircraft does not say "American Airlines" on it, rather "American Eagle". AA and MQ are not the same airline--hence the different airline codes. American and American Eagle are the same to the consumer' date=' which is all that matters.[/quote'] I'm a consumer. I never book a flight without knowing whether it is CO or CO Express or American or American Eagle--because I'd much rather fly a 737 or A320 than an ERJ or CRJ--and when given a reasonable choice, I always take mainline and will adjust my routings accordingly. Hence, if someone says its AA out of CLE, I know its not the 757 seen at BKL sometimes (charter for some sports team), its a regional jet that is actually Eagle. For example, HKG-CLE--via LAX means a 757 or 737 on LAX-CLE--but via JFK means AA or DL on an Embraer for JFK-CLE (or a hop to EWR for CO mainline service). By the way HKG-JFK is closer than HKG-LAX and NYC-CLE has more flights per day than LAX-CLE, so in such a case, i may opt for the RJ over the 737/757--but my point is as a consumer, i definitely make the distinction between AA and MQ because it automatically tells you whether you're on a mainline aircraft or not. A simpler consumer example: if you're at LGA flying to CLE, you can catch the 610pm flight which is a 737/mainline. But if you miss it, you're on the 730, which is an RJ/Express.

Commercial aviation went downhill after they eliminated outside boarding and installed "jet bridges" to say nothing of the conversion from props to turbines lol. I mean there's nothing like walking up to a plane and climbing the steps to board. But anyway for all intents and purposes express and mainline are the same. True the planes are smaller but I'm 6'4" tall and i really have no problems on an express plane.
August 4, 201014 yr If the airlines cannot make a profit using mainline jets, then regional jets are what they will use. Having regional jets from our hub (CO) to Miami's hub (AA) is better than nothing. If neither carrier is using mainline jets obviously the plane is matched to the market. The AA flights to MIA from CLE will be permanant and with the existing CAL flight that's aprox 150 seats/day to MIA. The CVG and CHM flights are a combo of permenant/seasonal. Each city pair loses a frequency after April 2011.
August 5, 201014 yr Per OAG 8/6/2010, the latest scheduled airline changes for CLE are below. Effective November, compared to today, AA is adding 200 seats per day into CLE. 100 (2x50) seats each from ORD and MIA. Not too shabby. Read: airline, route, current frequencies per day to future frequencies per day, and the effective date of change: AA: ORD-CLE 4>6 NOV-[no end date]--(this is on top of last week's change of ORD-CLE 4>5 AUG-NOV) AA: MIA-CLE 0>2 NOV-[no end date]--(as was discussed in the 10 or so posts above) DL: ATL-CLE 7>6 NOV-[no end date] No other route or frequency additions/deletions from any of the other carriers at CLE.
August 5, 201014 yr We at Delta usually decrease ATL frequencies at the end of the summer to hubs like CLE due to the slackening of liesure demand. CLE/CAK - ATL is heavily serves as it is
August 11, 201014 yr Check it out: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport receives $18.8 M to improve runway safety area Regular Photo Sizeadvertisement ShareThis Posted: 08/10/2010 By: WEWS News Staff WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced Tuesday that the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport will receive $18,815,438 in funds from the Federal Aviation Administration to improve runway safety. The funds will be used to extend Runway 28 by 330 feet and enhance aircraft safety operations at Ohio's largest airport. "These funds will ensure that the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport has the infrastructure it needs to remain competitive," Brown said. "This grant will improve safety conditions and better serve the 12 million passengers who travel through CLE each year." http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/cleveland-hopkins-international-airport-receives-18.8-million-to-improve-runway-safety-area
August 11, 201014 yr ^That's nice. Rwy 10-28 is the cross runway and is also the shortest at 6017 feet, so 330 feet isn't much, but it helps a little. By contrast, 6R-23L and 6L-23R are 9955 and 9000 feet, respectively. (I'd rather see that 330 feet added to 6R...but this is supposed to be for safety improvements, not capacity increases...)
