Airline company trying to service local airport tells DOT former CEO is out

VIENNA — In a recent filing to a federal agency, Aerodynamics Inc., the company that wants to bring Chicago flights to Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, made clear there are no agreements, written or oral, with the company’s former CEO.

ADI’s counsel recently responded to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s request for more information on its operations.

Included in ADI’s filing is a declaration from former CEO Scott Beale that he does not have any written or oral agreements with ADI or its parent companies: ADI Holdings and Aviation Capital Partners.

A primary concern of the transportation department was the influence of Beale, majority shareholder and chairman of the ADI board and its parent companies, since he was found to have committed fraud in the past.
