Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is a public [airport located nine miles (14
Kilometre) southwest of the
central business district of
Cleveland, Ohio, a city in
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Ohio, United States. The airport lies just within the city limits of Cleveland and it is the largest airport in the state of Ohio.
The airport was named for former
City Manager William R. Hopkins. It was founded in 1925, making it one of the oldest municipality 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
runway, both in 1930; and the first U.S. airport to be directly connected to a rapid transit system, in 1968.
In 1971, actress
Jane Fonda was arrested at Hopkins Airport because she got beligerent with a police officer.
In 1985, A British Airways Concorde Jet flew into Hopkins Airport for a special flight. This paved the way for Cleveland's entry for global flights. Also in 1985, Cleveland Hopkins Airport had its first hijacking of a plane. A mentally crazed woman hijacked at
Pan American Airlines flight. She held hostages on the plane, she was subdued by Cleveland Police SWAT team.
In 1999, Hopkins gained Cleveland to London Gatwick Service and for May 2008 Cleveland to Paris DeGaulle service.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport handled 11,460,002 passengers in 2005, a growth of nearly 2% over
2004. It is a major
airline hub for both Continental Airlines and its regional carrier
Continental Express. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, along with
Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL) comprise the Cleveland Airport System operated by the
Cleveland.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport 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 IATA airport code 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 Akron-Canton Regional Airport, located approximately fifty miles to the south.
Facilities and aircraft
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport covers an area of 1,900 acres (769
hectare) which contains 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

Concourse C
Concourse C, originally known as the South Concourse when it opened in 1968, is the airport's second-oldest concourse. 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 (Continental and sister
Eastern Airlines already occupied gates in this concourse) 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.)
