YNG ATCT is an ATC-7 Level Tower/Radar facility. YNG ATCT primarily provides radar and tower services to general aviation and military aircraft for student pilots and pilot currency training at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, as well as a number of satellite airports. While YNG ATCT currently has minimal scheduled air carrier service, Allegiant Airlines has scheduled airline service to Orlando Sanford Airport. YNG is also home to the 910th Airlift Wing of the United States Air Force Reserve with 12 state-of-the-art C-130 aircraft based here. Military aircraft from different bases come to YNG to use a military assault landing zone and practice Night Vision Goggle (NVG) operations under complete airport lights-out conditions.
Hours of Operation:
Radar Services are available from our Approach Control from 0600 to 2400L.
