Cleveland reporting spans new service announcements, airport construction and terminal changes, cancellation spikes during storms and staffing shortages, and passenger rights and fee disputes. Coverage reaches the city's airport and the communities around it, since many travelers drive in from surrounding counties. Schedule changes and seasonal fare shifts draw as much attention as major expansions do. Weather disruption and airline staffing are the two constraints that most often shape how flying out of the city goes.
