Not too long after United consolidated its gates at the far end of the C concourse, AA moved into C and the A concourse was left for the ULCC, charters and the iceland airlines when we had that for a few months. ULCCs in CLE serve many destinations but few flights. Some once per day, some only once a week. So the concourse is dead most of the time due to lack of frequency of flights.

There have been some other growth. WN has increased presence and frequency as has DL for some markets as well.
