Other than short-lived service to Iceland in 2018, Clevelanders could last fly nonstop from Hopkins to Europe in 2009, when service to London ended, a victim of the Great Recession.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland airport officials plan to make a major push this year to land nonstop service to Europe.What it doesn’t have – at least not yet – is enough financial support from the community, including businesses and other groups.
The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits airports from making direct payments to airlines in exchange for service. Instead, airports can waive certain fees and help carriers with marketing the new flights. Shah said he would want to see an economic impact analysis of any possible route before committing financial support to it. “It’s hard for us to go to the business community without an economic case,” he said. “There’s got to be a broader regional benefit and we have to understand what that means. It has to be tangible. And with that information, we can make a decision on whether it’s a good choice for our local resources.
“Our target is to have trans-Atlantic service in the summer of 2023,” said Airport Director Robert Kennedy. “Those decisions will be made this year.” Bill Koehler, CEO of Team NEO, a regional economic development organization, said the community needs to decide what markets are a top priority, both domestic and international.
