Hopkins International Airport has likewise gotten into the game, launching a fan vote on brackets asking followers to vote for their favorite nonstop destinations offered out of Cleveland.
Perhaps channeling hopeful job candidates in a murky market, Hopkins, intentionally or not, appears to be marking its weaknesses as strengths, or at least unaware that such a bracket does little more than remind local travelers of how very few nonstop destinations are available from Cleveland. There will be multiple rounds of voting, so head over to our IG story every Wednesday and cast your votes! 🗳️Hopkins, after all, likes to say that it offers"nearly 40" nonstop flights.
The numbers are stark: Pre-Covid, Cleveland had 51 direct flights. A decade ago, that number was 70. In 2023, there were 44,200 total nonstop flights at Hopkins, according to“The needs of Clevelanders do come first because that’s what’s going to fill up an airplane,” John Hogan, Hopkins' air service development manager, told the station.
With planning work underway on terminal renovations and expansions at the airport, and with the launch of more international direct options, there are reasons to be tepidly optimistic that the situation will improve.Vince Grzegorek has been with Scene since 2007 and editor-in-chief since 2012. He previously worked at Discount Drug Mart and Texas Roadhouse.
