March 26, 20196 yr It seems silly of them to cancel it now after reaffirming the route would return at 4 days-per-week...especially after consolidating with WOW (aka no direct competition). But then again maybe they didn’t like their ticket sale numbers?

Some American airports have leased their airports to private operators or are considering doing so. Cleveland could use its lease to substantially rebuild and expand RTA, then free up its capital budget for operations. The city could also contract out its on- and off-street parking to help support the operating cost of RTA's expanded services.

June 17, 20195 yr Not sure this is the best thread for this idea / possible discussion but here goes. If I were the Haslams, and I wanted a new Browns stadium, I would try to package it as part of a larger, regional, infrastructure plan. Namely, I would try to get a 7 county tax base (similar to Pittsburgh) to fund a new stadium, and a new international airport out in a county other than Cuyahoga. Hopkins could still be open for low cost carriers and be the backup airport to this new airport. This would allow Burke to be allowed to closed. A new Stadium could be built on Burke property, opening up the current stadium location for development. Throw in some sweeteners for the counties not getting anything. Maybe use that money to move the port and have even more riverfront and lakefront development land. I just wanted to pitch this idea and get some feedback, especially from people who know the airline industry.

Maybe use that money to move the port and have even more riverfront and lakefront development land. I just wanted to pitch this idea and get some feedback, especially from people who know the airline industry. So many issues here.... 1. Burke is all landfill. Probably not impossible to build structures on, but certainly more expensive. 2. Haslam would be dead and gone before the first truck of concrete was poured on such a regional airport. Between the FAA, financing and the inevitable NIMBYs in Brunstucky or whatever farm community this things would go would tie it up for decades. 3. CLE's O/D numbers are strong--but not enough to justify such a massive project especially in a region still losing population. There is also plenty of room to expand on the current airport site (IX Center, Terminal D, etc) 4. CLE is a great little airport that is horribly mismanaged by the City of Cleveland. It's 12 miles from the CBD, which makes it a great asset vs some mega generic airport 40 miles outside town.
June 17, 20195 yr I will say for the landfill, the current stadium is built on the same landfill that makes up Burke.

June 18, 20195 yr Announced earlier this month... More flights for the summer season. Would be nice if these flights were year-round but not sure whether or not these airlines can justify year-round service at this time. Among the newest offerings: In May, Frontier Airlines started flying between Cleveland and Charleston, South Carolina, twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays. The seasonal route is scheduled through early November. Allegiant Air starts flying between Cleveland and Charleston on June 6, also on Thursdays and Sundays. Allegiant also is adding new service to Norfolk, Virginia, starting June 7. That route will run Fridays and Mondays. Cleveland hasn’t had nonstop service to Norfolk since 2008, when United Airlines offered the route. Both the Charleston and Norfolk routes are scheduled through mid-August More here: https://www.cleveland.com/business/2019/06/cleveland-hopkins-ups-service-to-southeast-coast-with-new-flights-to-charleston-norfolk-more.html
June 25, 20195 yr Frontier Airlines to restart service to Fort Lauderdale, Miami from Cleveland Hopkins; fares start at $49 CLEVELAND, Ohio — Frontier Airlines will restart nonstop service between Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Fort Lauderdale and Miami, two routes it has flown before. The routes start in October, with an introductory fare sale of $49 one way. The new Miami service will run four times per week, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Service to Fort Lauderdale will run three times per week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

June 27, 20195 yr ^that's okay. I still find any service that is less than daily--especially for a domestic route -- to be pretty annoying.

June 28, 20195 yr Also a minor update regarding Icelandair: they've cut Halifax (back in March) and Tampa just last week due to the 737MAX grounding for the current season, which leads me to believe CLE has a higher chance of returning as soon as their fleet situation is resolved...

This isn't a change in available seats, though. 3 daily E145's (50*3) goes to 2 daily E175's (76*2). However, I wholeheartedly agree that this is an improvement. I was very recently on this route and 3 hours is too long on an E145 (not to mention that the E175's are outfitted with wireless and the E145's are not, nor will they ever).
