Cleveland Hopkins International Airport CLEKCLE

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is the main airport for Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, but it is not a current major alliance hub. It was historically a United/Continental hub; today United remains important at Concourse C, while Frontier has a strong local base and low-cost presence. The network is mainly domestic and regional, with a smaller international layer that can include Canada, Mexico/Caribbean leisure routes and Aer Lingus service to Dublin. CLE is easy to navigate: one main terminal, active Concourses A, B and C, and post-security walking connections between them. For downtown Cleveland, the RTA Red Line is the most practical default: the station is below the main terminal and reaches Tower City in under 30 minutes for most of the day.
