Zanesville Municipal Airport (IATA: ZZV[2], ICAO: KZZV, FAA LID: ZZV) is a city-owned airport six miles east of downtown Zanesville, in Muskingum County, Ohio.[1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 called it a general aviation facility.[3]
The first airline flights were TWA DC-3s in 1947. Lake Central replaced TWA in 1953; successor Allegheny left Zanesville January 9, 1970. The largest aircraft used on scheduled service was Allegheny Airlines Convair 580 prop jets before stopping service in 1970. Allegheny had 4 flights a day using the CV580, 2 nonstops to Columbus (CMH) with continuing service to Dayton (DAY), then Detroit (DTW). The two eastbound flights went to Wheeling WV (HLG), then Pittsburgh (PIT). [4]

Accidents and incidents
- On June 26, 1954, a Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker made an emergency landing at the Zanesville Municipal Airport after developing engine troubles.[6]
- On May 31, 2016, a Viking SF-2A Cygnet experienced a runway excursion while landing at the Zanesville Municipal Airport. The tailwheel-equipped airplane's pilot eported that, during the landing roll in crosswind conditions, the airplane veered off the runway to the left. During the accident sequence, the pilot braked "too hard" in an attempt to avoid a drainage ditch and subsequently flipped over. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion, and a nose over.[7][8]
