## Description

Arnold Palmer, born in Latrobe in 1929, learned to fly at this field and kept his own aircraft here for decades — which is why the airport east of Pittsburgh carries his name. Its commercial story turned in 2026: after Spirit Airlines collapsed on 2 May, leaving LBE (ICAO: KLBE) briefly without scheduled flights, Breeze Airways stepped in to serve Florida sunshine routes. Cargo, though, is not part of the picture — freight from Westmoreland County trucks the 60 kilometres to Pittsburgh International (PIT). As a sweet aside, the banana split was invented in Latrobe in 1904.
