Cleveland International Airport was opened in 1925 as the first airport in the United States to be under municipal authority.

This was mainly due to the high cost of air travel at the time, which meant people could use air travel. However, the wealthy classes of society began to use it, and over the next few years, the need for passenger transportation through this airport led to its commissioning to the current status. The airport has impressive facts and features that define it and set it apart from other airports. It represents the actualization of adjustments that seemed impossible to implement at any airport at the time it was built and improved. This article specifically examines the Cleveland Hopkins Airport from a broad perspective. When one travels by plane, the beauty of the structures around them enhances one's travel experience. In our time, countries and states have megastructures that include technologically improved airports. They are not only designed to ensure the safety and efficiency of the traveler's experience, but also imbue them with beauty and engineering expertise. The work behind the scenes of these structures requires precise and correct calculations to ensure that their lifespan is both long and attractive to the viewer (Ashford 24). Cleveland Hopkins is one of those marvels who may not be jaw-dropping now, but played his role well during his glory days and early days. Since its commissioning, many improvements have been made to the airport's manufacturing...... middle of paper...... 2014Airport marking aids and signs. “Runway markings represented by different lights” April 29, 2014 Ashford, Norman, et.
