How about MUC? Even better for connecting, and they could advertise Bavaria, Octoberfest, Christmas Market, etc. It would be nice to see the A359 in CLE
Full disclosure: MUC is my favorite airport for connections 😁

And Icelandair contends it will likely sub 737 Max flights with 757's to CLE and MCI."Passengers that are booked on an Icelandair flight that was scheduled on a 737 MAX 8 do not need to contact Icelandair in order to be rebooked on a flight. We will be changing the aircraft on affected routes to either a 757 or 767 aircraft."

Just received an email from CLEAR that they are now open at CLE's Center and South checkpoints. I'm curious how that's going to work at the South checkpoint which I don't believe has full-time TSA Pre -- unless this means TSA Pre will be open whenever Clear is open or vice versa...

Fingers crossed on aer lingus. At least dublin is both a leisure and business destination, and has better connectivity. If anyone is going to make Tatl service work from CLE its them with the a321. Maybe service to london, amsterdam, paris, or frankfurt would work if BA, KLM, AF, or LH were to get a321LRs. Iceland is fun and all, but there was/is no business O&D.
Plus then we would be able to burn up some avios, 13.5/20k for econ.

Fights are still scheduled to resume on May 17. The Plain Dealer had this to say:

on the news tonight they are pulling out of Cleveland not just because of fhe 737 Max grounding. That is crazy had 2 airlines flying the route last summer and loads were good.
