History

During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces.

Western Airlines arrived in 1944 and United Airlines in 1946; both pulled out in 1959. West Coast Airlines replaced them until it pulled out in 1961.

In September 2012 Allegiant Air began non-stop flights to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.[6]

On May 4, 2021 Avelo Airlines commenced service to Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR).[7]

In April 2022, Allegiant Air announced that they would be stopping flights to Ogden citing a shortage of pilots as a main reason.[8] In June 2022, Avelo announced that they would be stopping flights to Ogden as well.[8] Avelo stated that the high price of fuel was a major factor in their decision to leave Ogden.[8] The two airlines departing allowed the city to accelerate the previously scheduled renovation work, including constructing a new control tower and expanding the airport several thousand square feet.[9]
