170 AVIATION VIEW VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1 International Airport W est Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) is a thriving hub of aviation. The largest commercial airport in the State of West Virginia, CRW has service provided by American, Delta, Spirit, and United Airlines, and is also home to the McLaughlin Air National Guard Base. CEO and Airport Director Nick Keller has helped lead the changes and growth that have propelled the former Yeager Airport, just east of downtown Charleston, West Virginia, to new heights as the re-branded West Virginia International Yeager Airport. Business View recently spoke with Keller about all the exciting happenings at CRW. BVM: A lot has changed at CRW over the past year, can you give us an overview?
