Passenger volumes continue to rebound at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

The number of flights, seats and passengers carried in June surpassed the levels of a year earlier, making it the second month in a row that the airport is showing increases following last spring’s closure by United Airlines of its hub at the airport. “We have officially rebounded from United’s dehubbing,” said Ricky Smith, the director of the city of Cleveland’s airport system, in a news release. “Late last year, we forecasted an increase in passengers by the fourth quarter of 2015,” Smith said. “With the release of June’s passenger numbers, we can report that we’ve met the forecasted increase several months in advance.” The resurgence in passenger traffic is the result of three new airlines — Frontier, JetBlue and Spirit — entering the Cleveland market. In June 2015 Cleveland Hopkins had 749,945 total passengers, up 17% from 640,946 passengers in June 2014. The number of flights rose by 1.3%, to 4,394 in June from 4,337 a year ago. Departing seats also rose, to 452,785 from 370,592, a 22.2% jump. The small increase in flights is due to the larger aircraft used by the new carriers. Most of the United flights that were lost with the closing of the hub were served by small, regional jets that had less than 100 seats. The new carriers fly larger jets, typically seating 120 or more passengers.
