New runway boosts capacity at Cleveland airport
CLEVELAND (AP) — Aviation officials said a new runway will allow Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to handle about 40% more takeoffs and landings each year.
The 9,000-foot runway, which opened Thursday morning with the arrival of a Continental Airlines 737-800 from Seattle, will boost capacity for yearly takeoffs and landings to 525,000 from 368,000, said Cleveland Port Control Director John Mok.
The expansion also improves airport efficiency, which should reduce delays and could help entice new flights and new airlines.
