Eat. Drink.
Enjoy the View.

Relaxed, elevated social dining at the Venango Regional Airport.

Forget what you think you know about airport restaurants.

We fill the gap between loud dive bars and stuffy fine dining. The Runway is a relaxed yet elevated dining experience built around scratch-made food, 220+ bourbons, and a front-row seat to the action on the tarmac, and some of the best sunset views around.

 

Whether you drive in for date night or fly in for the weekend, you get a trip out that is actually worth it. No ticket. No security. Just pull in, sit down, and enjoy the view.
