CLE: New Master Plan with major expansion
Hi FTers...
Didn't see anything posted on this...did you know CLE recently completed a new master plan that would greatly rework/rebuild the existing terminals? Great idea, as I think it's in sad state and in need of a renovation. Basically, they would rebuild most of the airport, adding 2 terminals, converting to a single checkpoint (not sure about this idea), adding more international/customs capacity, rebuild the garage, add direct connection to the airport hotel, and add direct access off 71.
I am curious, though, that they don't mention runway expansion. I thought that was a big reason that Burke is still in demand because of it's longer runway...but what do I know?

dergon darkhelm Thought you'd be particularly interested.
Okay..I see that it's mentioned in the de-hubbing thread. Your call, FTers if you want a specific expansion thread. I'm new around these (CLE) parts

The new Master Plan is at the FAA being reviewed. There is no known timetable for the FAA to complete their review; maybe by summer. Nothing can happen without FAA approval. I think the plan is fairly realistic (which doesn't mean cheap), in that specific growth in passenger levels must be net before any phase of it can commence. I believe the first phase needs 10.9 million passengers for planning to begin. The airport reported 10.04 million for pre-pandemic 2019. So nothing is going to happen tomorrow.
