Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is a public Airport located 9 miles (14 km) southwest of downtown Cleveland , in Cuyahoga County , Ohio , USA . The airport lies just within the city limits of Cleveland.

The airport was named for former and the first air traffic Control Tower , both in 1930 ; and the first U.S. airport to be directly connected to a Local Or Regional Rail Transit system, in 1968 .

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport handled 11,460,002 passengers in 2005 , a growth of nearly 2% over 2004 . It is a major Hub for both Continental Airlines and its regional carrier ExpressJet . Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, along with Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL) comprise the Cleveland Airport System operated by the City Of Cleveland .

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport recently 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 Airport Designator 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 highly-successful and growing Akron-Canton Regional Airport , located just to the south.

International arrivals

All international arrivials (except those from Nassau , Toronto , and Montréal ) arriving at Cleveland Hopkins deplane at a common-use U.S. Federal Inspection Service (FIS) facility, located at the end of Councourse A. Arriving passengers deplaning at the FIS proceed to the lower-level, clear U.S. immigration, claim checked baggage and then proceed through Customs and other inspection services.

Unique to the Cleveland Hopkins FIS, after clearing inspection, both connecting and terminating passengers must place their checked luggage on a conveyor belt and then clear a standard TSA Securty checkpoint before emerging from the FIS via escalator to the departure-level of Concourse A. Terminating passengers proceed toward baggage claim and re-claim their baggage on a designated carousel; connecting passengers' may proceed to their next departure gate, as their luggage is checked-through to their final destination.

Passsengers arriving from Nassau , Toronto , and Montréal need not pass through the FIS, since these three airports have US Border Pre-clearance Facilities .
