Arnold Palmer was born in Latrobe in 1929, learned to fly from this field and kept his own aircraft here for decades, which is how the airport east of Pittsburgh came by its name. Its scheduled service changed hands in 2026: after Spirit Airlines ceased operations in May, briefly leaving LBE (ICAO KLBE) without airline flights, Breeze Airways took over the Florida routes. Traffic ran at roughly 154,000 passengers in the twelve months to August 2024, alongside a steady base of business aviation and air taxi work. The Westmoreland County Airport Authority runs the 750-acre site in Unity Township. Air cargo is not part of the operation: freight from Westmoreland County trucks the 55 kilometres to Pittsburgh International (PIT), with Cleveland Hopkins (CLE, some 210 kilometres) as a second option for larger consignments. Customs clearance for imports is likewise arranged through Pittsburgh.
