Staunton – Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport, located in Staunton, Virginia, has been in operation since the 1940s. The airport was originally built to support military operations in World War II and was initially known as the Staunton Army Airfield. After the war, it was converted into a civilian airport and renamed Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the airport underwent several expansions to accommodate larger aircraft and more passengers. In 1973, it became one of the first airports in Virginia to have a control tower installed. In 2003, it was designated as a regional hub for air transportation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This designation allowed for further expansion of facilities and services at the airport. Today, Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport provides commercial airline service to major cities across the United States as well as charter flights within Virginia. It is also home to several flight schools and other aviation-related businesses. The airport is operated by an independent authority made up of representatives from Augusta County, Staunton City, and Waynesboro City governments who are responsible for its day-to-day operations.
