Year-to-date, 6,918,441 passengers have traveled via CLE, an increase of 6.8 percent over last year.
“As fall begins, the transition from the busiest season for air travel is underway,” said Bryant L. Francis, C.M., Director of Port Control. “Summer 2024 was incredibly active at Hopkins. Those with an operational role at CLE welcome the slightly slower pace, but it will be short lived as preparations for the holiday travel season will soon begin, bringing with it a bustling terminal yet again.”
Approximately 10,250,000 passengers are forecasted to fly through CLE in 2024.
