Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE/KCLE) is the primary commercial airport serving Cleveland, Ohio, and the greater northeast Ohio region. It is owned and operated by the City of Cleveland and handles millions of passengers annually through a mix of domestic and limited international services. The airport is notable for being one of the oldest municipal airports in the United States, with roots dating back to the 1920s. It served as a major hub for Continental Airlines and later United Airlines following their merger, though hub operations have significantly scaled back over the years. Hopkins is conveniently connected to downtown Cleveland via the Red Line of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA), making it one of a relatively small number of U.S. airports with direct rail access to the city center.

Terminals

The airport operates a single terminal building with concourses C and D serving domestic and international flights.

Getting to & from

The Greater Cleveland RTA Red Line provides direct rail service between the airport and downtown Cleveland, and taxis, rideshares, and rental cars are also available.
