Daily air service from Youngstown to Detroit, Chicago proposed

VIENNA — An application filed with the U.S. Department of Transportation says a Beachwood, Ohio, company is proposing daily air service between Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport and Detroit Metro Airport.

But an informed source says the service more likely would use Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and begin as soon as November.

The service would allow travelers to reach destinations throughout the world by way of Chicago.

The company involved in the proposal is Aerodynamics Inc. of Beachwood, also known as ADI, which would operate the service under a different name that has not been disclosed. The company would deliver passengers to Chicago on 50-seat regional jet aircraft.

Dan Dickten, director of aviation at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, will ask the Western Reserve Port Authority, which runs the local airport, on Wednesday for approval of the startup of the service.
