Youngstown–Warren Regional Airport (
The airport has been in operation for over 50 years. It is run by the Western Reserve Port Authority, made up of members appointed by the Mahoning and Trumbull County Commissioners. The WRPA plays a vital role in the regional economy as it teams with the Youngstown–Warren Regional Chamber of Commerce and is leading the plan to clean up the Mahoning River. While there hasn't been commercial service to the airport since 2018, private jets and small charter flights continue to serve the area as of December 2023.
History
The Youngstown–Warren Regional Airport began as the Youngstown Municipal Airport (MAP), and was one of the last Works Progress Administration projects. Construction began in 1939, and the airport opened a year later. The airport is located 11 miles (18 km) north of Youngstown in Vienna Center due to limited space available within the city for the planned size. The airport that had been serving the city, Lansdowne Airport, lacked room to expand.
In 1981, a 225,000-ft2 production facility for the Commuter Aircraft Corporation was built on the west side of the airport, but the company closed down before any aircraft were built.[2][3][4]
Northwest Airlines discontinued service to Detroit via Akron–Canton in September 2002, leaving the airport without scheduled airline service.[5][6] In May 2006, Allegiant Air launched a route to Sanford near Orlando.[7][8] It subsequently added flights to St. Petersburg–Clearwater and Myrtle Beach. The company ceased all of its Youngstown routes in January 2018, and the airport has lacked passenger air service since then.[9]
In June 2023, local city leaders filed an application with the

The airport currently has four ticket counters, one baggage claim and on-site capacity for up to five rental car companies. The airport's only on-site restaurant, Mikees II, closed shortly after Allegiant Airlines ceased all remaining operations to the airport in 2018. The airport offers a recently expanded parking facility with the lowest cost of parking in the area.
The airport's master plan calls for an expanded terminal to add another three gates, should air service return and spike at any time.
