The United States has 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC). [1] They are operated by and are part of the Federal Aviation Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation . An ARTCC controls aircraft flying in a specified region of airspace, known as a flight information region (FIR), typically during the en route portion of flight.
The Cleveland ARTCC is the 3rd busiest of the 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers in the United States. It oversees the airspace over portions of Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, as well as the southernmost portion of Ontario, Canada. [3] The Air Route Traffic Control Center was first planned in 1958.
Area control centers (ACCs) control IFR air traffic in their flight information region (FIR). The current list of FIRs and ACCs is maintained by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). [1] Note that the cited ICAO source gives the shapefile coordinates for each FIR, and also its page source gives a list of current ACCs in text form.
A new Air Traffic Control tower was opened at the airport in 2016. [6] In 2018, the airport launched a $565,000 improvement project to boost the efficiency of its jetways. New ground power units and pre-conditioned air units were installed.
In August 1975, the US Civil Aeronautics Board, the now-defunct Federal agency that, at the time, regulated almost all airline service, approved Wright Air Lines to fly from Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport to Columbus via Don Scott Airport.

In air traffic control, an area control center (ACC), also known as a center or en-route center, is a facility responsible for controlling aircraft flying in the airspace of a given flight information region (FIR) at high altitudes between airport approaches and departures.
It was the site of the first air traffic control tower, [7] the first ground-to-air radio control system, [8] and the first airfield lighting system, [9] all in 1930; and it was the first U.S. airport to be directly connected to a local or regional rail transit system, in 1968. [10]
Access road from I-70 to terminal. In 2011, Dayton International Airport completed a new air traffic control tower.The tower is about 254 feet (77 m) high with a 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m 2) base building of office and operational space for FAA personnel.
