Youngstown–Warren Regional Airport (IATA: YNG, ICAO: KYNG, FAA LID: YNG) is a public and military airport in Vienna Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, 11 miles north of Youngstown and 10 miles (16 km) east of Warren. The airport is home to the Youngstown–Warren Air Reserve Station.
The airport has been open 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.
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 11 miles (18 km) north of Youngstown in Vienna Center because during the 1930s and 1940s, there was little room inside the city limits for an airport the size of the one planned. The airport that had been serving the city, Lansdowne Airport, lacked room to expand.
US Airways, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Pan Am Clipper Connection and Vacation Express have serviced the airport at some point. In the early 2000s (decade), the airport had no scheduled airline service. In 2006 Allegiant Air began scheduled service to Orlando, Florida bringing commercial air service back to Youngstown. In 2008 Vision Airlines announced the start of charter operations to and from Gulfport Mississippi once a month.
