| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Akron Canton Regional Airport (regional) | CAK | 68 km (42 mi) | 8,204 ft | 1,228 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,953 ft, CLE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 791 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
