Only Airport In United States To Lose All Commercial Airline Service The small Arnold Palmer Regional Airport outside Pittsburg, Pa., had just appointed a new executive director – who now may have to lay off co-workers he has known for years as he scrambles to find a replacement airline. Arnold Palmer Regional Airport had depended on Spirit Airlines to run all of its flights out of Latrobe, a small town about an hour east of Pittsburgh. Spirit had been flying out of the airport for 15 years. The airport had just launched a nonstop service to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and it soon would open a new $22 million terminal to double the number of passengers it could serve.
