CLE Cleveland

How deep the CLE board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CLE. This reads the same 113 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 69of the 113 destinations are flown by one airline
• 77destinations run less than once a day
• 15destinations have four or more departures a day
• 23.9%of the destinations name Sky Quest, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CLE

45 airlines appear on the CLE board and they do not hold it evenly. Sky Quest is on 27 of the 113 destinations, 23.9 per cent of them, and on 13 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 32.1 of the 163.5 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is NetJets Aviation on 19 destinations. 22 of the 45 airlines at CLE appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 23.9 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 69 of the 113 sectors at CLE do not.

How much of the CLE board is daily

Of the 113 destinations, 36 are flown at least once a day and 77 are not, 49 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CLE board is flown 2 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: CLE to Youngstown/Warren (YNG) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 48 of the 163.5 departures a day, 29.4 per cent of the whole board. With 68.1 per cent of the 113 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of CLE where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 50 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from CLE

The desk holds the return direction for 40 of the 113 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into CLE runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Pittsburgh (PIT) at 0.57 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: New York (JFK) files 7 a day back into CLE against 1.3 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at CLE

CLE keeps America/New_York time, eight hours behind Dubai in summer and nine hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 01:00 at CLE, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for an hour. That is a narrow window for a signature, a customs query or an authority to release, and it is the reason a consignment for CLE is briefed the day before rather than on the morning it flies.

Where CLE turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United States country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 9 airport pair pages that start or end at CLE, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Cleveland to New York (LGA), Cleveland to Detroit (DTW) and Cleveland to Philadelphia (PHL).

13 courier postings name CLE as the airport a courier here flies from: Cleveland, Toledo and Akron.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CLE already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 113 destinations above.
