Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.

Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Cleveland's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Burke Lakefront Airport Runway Diagram Print
BKL is the identifier for Burke Lakefront, a city owned airport on the shore of Lake Erie in the northeast part of downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Two runways carry the field: 6L/24R at 6,604 by 150 feet and 6R/24L at 5,197 by 100 feet, both asphalt, with the airport sitting 584 feet above sea level. That pairing is the whole composition, and it is why this one works on a wall.
The print draws the two strips side by side on a long diagonal, running from the lower left up to the upper right of the sheet. The longer 6L/24R sits above and outboard, the shorter 6R/24L runs just below it, and the near parallel gap between them stays open the entire way. Everything built lives on the lower right of that pair: taxiway loops, apron and terminal shapes in a lighter tone, gathered mostly toward the southwest end with a smaller cluster off the 24R end. Wide margins do the rest of the work, so the diagonal reads as one confident gesture instead of a busy map.
The field opened in 1947 as the first downtown airport in the United States and the first that was municipally owned and operated, and it takes its name from Thomas A. Burke, a former Cleveland mayor and U.S. senator. It has also been used for things runways are not usually used for: in 1981 it hosted the first Cleveland Grand Prix, with cars racing on the runways and approach aprons, and the Grand Prix of Cleveland was last held in 2007. From 1957 to 1970, TAG Airlines flew from Burke mainly to Detroit City Airport. In 1969, Galaxy Airlines ran six daily departures out of BKL on a routing through Columbus and on to Cincinnati Lunken.
Hung as art, the layout keeps its own scale. The two bars, the numbers at their ends and the coordinate block below give a viewer who knows the field something to read, and give everyone else a clean geometric shape. It suits an office, a hallway or a spot near the door where a Lake Erie pilot walks past it every day.
Cleveland (BKL) print, common questions
How many runways does Burke Lakefront have?
Two. Runway 6L/24R measures 6,604 by 150 feet and runway 6R/24L measures 5,197 by 100 feet, both asphalt. The print shows them side by side on a diagonal, with the shorter strip below the longer one.
How long is the longest runway at BKL?
6,604 feet, at a width of 150 feet. That is runway 6L/24R, the upper and heavier of the two bars in the print.
Where is BKL and how high is the field?
Burke Lakefront is in Cleveland, Ohio, near 41.5179 degrees north and 81.6826 degrees west, on the Lake Erie shore at the northeast edge of downtown. Field elevation is 584 feet, and that figure is printed under the identifier block.
What does the code BKL mean?
BKL is the identifier for Burke Lakefront, the name the field carries in honor of Thomas A. Burke, a former Cleveland mayor and U.S. senator. The three letters set the identifier block at the lower right of the print.
Is the diagram accurate to the published layout?
It is plotted from published airport information, cycle 2609, effective 2026-08-06, so the runway designators, the relative lengths and widths of the two strips and their orientation follow that published data. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Things like lighting, markings and signage are not part of the drawing, and it should never be used for flight planning.
What sizes and finishes can I get, and does it work as a gift?
It comes in several standard sizes, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately), in the colorway you choose, and physical pieces are made to order with free US shipping inside the United States. For a pilot who trained at Burke, a Cleveland Clinic flight crew member or anyone who has watched airplanes come in over the lake, the layout is specific enough to be recognized across a room.
