Executive Leadership Team
Dominique Ranieri
Airport Director & CEO
Dominique Ranieri is the Airport Director & Chief Executive Officer of West Virginia International Yeager Airport, owned and operated by the Central West Virginia Airport Authority.
Ranieri’s role and responsibilities include the day-to-day oversight of the Airport’s Executive Leadership Team and West Virginia International Yeager Airport. She oversees a staff of over 100, a $13.7 million budget for fiscal year 2022, and daily operations of the largest commercial Airport in the state of West Virginia that generated a $225-million economic impact in the state pre-COVID-19.
She has worked at CRW since 2017, starting as the Airport’s Marketing Director and working her way up to the CEO role. Her hard work has led to many additions (and schedule adjustments) to service at CRW Airport—notably, service from CRW to Orlando International Airport (MCO) on low-cost carrier, Spirit Airlines.
Before being named CEO, Ranieri served as Assistant Airport Director for nearly two years. Her appointment to her current position was made official in September 2022. She is the first woman to lead West Virginia International Yeager Airport.
