Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport lies in Vienna Township, Ohio, roughly 11 miles north of Youngstown and 10 miles east of Warren, and shares its runways with the Youngstown Air Reserve Station, home of the 910th Airlift Wing's C-130J Hercules fleet. A former World War II-era municipal field turned dual military-civil airport, it offers a long ILS-equipped main runway and full tower service, though it has had no scheduled airline service since 2018.
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport (KYNG) is a public and military airport run by the Western Reserve Port Authority, serving the twin cities of Youngstown and Warren in northeastern Ohio. It shares its runways with the Youngstown Air Reserve Station, home to the Air Force Reserve's 910th Airlift Wing and its C-130J Hercules aircraft, giving the field a distinctly military character alongside its civil operations. For a simulator pilot, the airport is notable for its very long primary runway, ILS approach, and the regular mix of large military transports and general aviation traffic sharing the pattern.
The airport sits in Vienna Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, about 11 miles north of Youngstown and 10 miles east of Warren. It is a joint-use facility, combining the civil Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport with the Youngstown Air Reserve Station on the same airfield.
The airport has three physical runways. The main runway, 14/32, is 8,976 feet long, hard-surfaced, lit and equipped with an ILS. A parallel runway, 14R/32L, is 3,485 feet long, hard-surfaced and lit. A third runway, 05/23, is 4,998 feet long, also hard-surfaced and lit. Field elevation is 1,142 feet.
Cleveland Center provides en-route air/ground service on 127.15 MHz, with approach and departure control on 133.95 MHz. The airport's ATIS broadcasts on 123.75 MHz, and Youngstown Tower operates on 119.5 MHz, with ground control on 121.9 MHz. Unicom is available on 122.95 MHz. The main runway, 14/32, is equipped with an ILS.
The airport originated as Youngstown Municipal Airport, one of the last Works Progress Administration projects, with groundbreaking held on 29 May 1939. The 597-acre site, with runways of 3,850 feet and 3,600 feet, was dedicated on 1 July 1941. Construction of Youngstown Air Force Base began in June 1951 ahead of the arrival of the 166th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron from Lockbourne Air Force Base, and after the northwest-southeast runway was lengthened to 7,500 feet the base opened on 16 June 1952. The passenger terminal was expanded through the 1970s, including an 11,000-square-foot addition and a fifth hangar dedicated in 1978. A large production facility was built on the airport's west side in 1981 for the Commuter Aircraft Corporation, though the company closed before building any aircraft. The airport was renamed Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport by late September 1993. Scheduled airline service lapsed after Northwest Airlines withdrew in 2002, before Allegiant Air introduced flights to Orlando/Sanford in 2006, later adding St Petersburg/Clearwater and Myrtle Beach; Allegiant ended all Youngstown routes in January 2018. A brief attempt at service to Chicago-O'Hare by Aerodynamics Inc. in mid-2016 lasted only about six weeks. In 2024 the airport was redesignated a primary airport, bringing additional federal maintenance funding. The airfield remains home to the Youngstown Air Reserve Station and the Air Force Reserve's 910th Airlift Wing, which operates C-130J Hercules aircraft, including a portion of the wing devoted to aerial spray operations.
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport continues to operate as a joint civil-military field. It hosts the Youngstown Air Reserve Station, home of the 910th Airlift Wing and its C-130J Hercules aircraft, with a substantial military presence of around 1,450 personnel. There has been no scheduled passenger airline service since Allegiant Air's routes ended in January 2018, though private and charter flights continue to use the field. The Youngstown branch campus of the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics is based at the airport, and general aviation is supported by T-hangars built by the Western Reserve Port Authority. The surrounding AeroPark Industrial Park occupies land adjacent to the airfield.
