Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (IATA: LBE, ICAO: KLBE, FAA LID: LBE) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of the central business district of Latrobe, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is owned by the Westmoreland County Airport Authority and was formerly known as Westmoreland County Airport. It is primarily used for general aviation. There is no scheduled commercial service available.
The airport was served by one commercial airline, Northwest Airlink, as a reliever for Pittsburgh International Airport on the other side of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The airport also had regional service by US Airways to Pittsburgh International Airport, until the company's bankruptcy. Northwest/Delta ended its daily service to Detroit on July 31, 2009 due to low yields, leaving the airport with no commercial service.
The airport is currently attempting to recruit another carrier to re-establish service in order to beat an October 31, 2011 deadline when they will lose a $1M USD federal grant.
