Walla Walla Regional Airport (IATA: ALW, ICAO: KALW) 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.[1] On December 1, 1947, control of the facility reverted back to the city of Walla Walla.[2]

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 two commercial airlines.
