Step into the rich history of Cleveland Airport, an aviation pioneer affectionately known as Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. It holds the distinction of being the first airport to brighten the skies with airfield lighting. Imagine a beacon with the brilliance of three million candles and a floodlight boasting an impressive 1.5 billion candle-power, guiding pilots safely to the ground. This innovative spirit didn't stop there; Cleveland Airport was also a trailblazer in establishing the inaugural airplane-to-tower communication system.
In the bustling 1950s, the western end of the airport became a hive of activity with the opening of a NACA laboratory dedicated to aircraft engine research. Fast forward to 1958, and the Lewis Research Center, now known as NASA's John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field, made its debut in Cleveland. This center became a cornerstone in the historic quest to send astronauts to the moon, etching Cleveland's name in the annals of space exploration.
Today, Cleveland Airport is a gateway that's easily reached by the RTA Red Line, seamlessly connecting travelers from the airport to the heart of the city at Tower City Station. This hub also serves as a crossroads for numerous bus routes crisscrossing the city. For those who prefer a more personal touch, taxis await at the airport's south entrance, ready to whisk you away to downtown Cleveland. A quick 20-25 minute ride, subject to the ebb and flow of traffic, will cost approximately $40-50.
The origins of Cleveland Airport can be traced back to 1925, born from the vision of the Federal government, which recognized its potential as a key airport for U.S. Air Mail flights. Despite the initial skepticism regarding its proximity to downtown Cleveland, the airport was thoughtfully designed to ensure that travelers could reach their destinations within a mere half-hour via public transportation. This commitment to accessibility and innovation is a testament to Cleveland Airport's enduring legacy as a hub of American aviation history.
