CHARLESTON, W.Va. Ideas for a potential rebranding of Yeager Airport, including a new name and logo, were presented in front of the airport’s Marketing Committee on Wednesday.
Dominique Ranieri, the COO and Assistant Airport Director for Yeager Airport told MetroNews that a rename of the airport has been on the radar for several years, calling it a profile consideration. She said a new name would likely have a geographical location with it.
“It’s a challenge to not have your geographical location in the name of your airport. While we as West Virginians all know who Chuck Yeager is and that he is from this area, people throughout the country might not,” Ranieri told MetroNews.
