It is entirely located within the city limits of Cleveland. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport was built in 1925, and got its modern name in honour of the former city manager of Cleveland in 1951. It was one of the first airports to have air traffic control services, runway lighting system and to be directly connected to a rail transit system. The international airport operates three runways and one passenger terminal, divided into several concourses, which are A, B, C, and D. It services about 11 million people every year.
