Did they ever make another attempt to fly there or did the flights get cancelled and all of the passengers get rebooked. The flight did eventually operate, albeit 3 hrs late. My family member was going to miss their connection so they rebooked for early the next morning and came home for the night.
Jump to postI had a family member at CLE to catch DL4136 to DTW tonight. The plane was originating in DTW then heading right back, and it got to Cleveland, but then did not actually land, and flew back to DTW. While it was a windy day, it wasnt anything out of the ordinary, and it looked like every other flight...
Jump to postThis is fascinating info, thanks so much for sharing. The 2am 747s to/from JFK & MSP always baffled me. I wonder what kind of loads those flights saw, and what it was like at the A concourse in the middle of the night. Also, didn't Air Canada fly charter 747s for a time during the mid-80s? Didn...
Jump to postDid CLE ever have historic service to Youngstown airport? How historic are you referring to? Continental Express flew their B1900's between their CLE hub and YNG back in the mid-90s for a short time. BAS Airlines flew C402's between YNG-BKL back in the mid-80s for a short time. I'm sure there are o...

Jump to postI see the Seattle Mariners flew into to BKL early am on a DL 757. They left from Boeing Field. Wonder if they used a NBA team plane?

I believe United has bought quite a few used A319s/A320s from European carriers. They’ve been ferrying the deliveries through Cleveland from Reykjavik for a couple years now. They've been mostly ex-EasyJet aircraft: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10140197 https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10167602

I don't quite understand the Breeze route-map. CAK, PIT and CMH to several of the same vacation destinations sounds like Vacation Express, or Vision Airlines to me. The rest looks like when ExpressJet went out on their own, but hey, Neelman has a proven track record so I'll wait and see what happens...
Jump to postI vaguely remember these guys. IIRC their flight to Frankfurt included either DTW or BWI as part of a triangle route. FRA-CLE-DTW-FRA or FRA-BWI-CLE-FRA or something like that.

Jump to post^^ Fun stuff. I remember TAG (which stood for Taxi Air Group btw) Airlines' Doves seemed like they were constantly in-n-out of BKL. Burke was a busy little airport back then.
I also recall that those TWA one-stop Europe 707's thru JFK stuck around for many years...into the 1980s.
Looks like UA is trying to compete with the F9, NK, and G4's of the world, doing point-to-point flying.

Jump to postThe parallel runways can definitely handle all types other than the AN225 and A380. When a 747 or A340 (and some select others), a runway check is required by City Ops. This is due to the runway WIDTH only being 150ft instead of 200ft. The longer wingspan aircraft overhang the edge of the runways w...
Jump to postThe flights never even flew. They just kept pushing the date back further and further and then just removed Cleveland from their booking engine completely.
