Walla Walla Regional Airport is a public Airport located in Walla Walla County , three miles (5 km) northeast of the city of Walla Walla in the U.S. State of Washington . The airport was the location of the U.S. Army Air Corps' '''Walla Walla Army Air Base''' in World War II. On December 1, 1947, control of the facility reverted back to the city of Walla Walla.[http://www.wallawallaairport.com/ownership/history.cfm

In 1989 the "Port of Walla Walla" took over ownership and operational responsibility of the airport from the city and county of Walla Walla. The airport is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by one commercial airline.

The former office and supply buildings surrounding the airport proper have become a haven for smaller industrial/manufacturing businesses, including, as of June 2007, fifteen full-line wineries that source their fruit from the Walla Walla and Columbia Valley appellations. The Port of Walla Walla, in fact, recently completed a "wine incubator" project; three specially-constructed buildings that are leased on non-renewable six-year contracts to fledgling wineries. Among the wineries with primary operations at the Walla Walla Regional Airport are Dunham Cellars, Buty Wines, Syzygy Winery, Five Star Cellars, and Stephenson Cellars.
