During
World War II, the airfield was used by the
United States Army Air Forces. Commercial service began when
Western Airlines arrived in 1944, operating a route between Los Angeles and Great Falls, Montana. Ogden was one of many stops on the route falling between Salt Lake City and Pocatello, Idaho.
United Airlines began serving Ogden in 1946 as one of many stops on a transcontinental route between San Francisco and New York. Both carriers pulled out in 1959.
West Coast Airlines replaced them until it pulled out in 1961. In 1964, Thunderbird Airlines began air-taxi flights to Salt Lake City. The carrier changed names to
Key Airlines in 1969 and again to Sun Valley Key in 1972. All service ended by 1976, and Ogden saw no other service for the next 36 years. Service at the airport resumed in 2012, with
Allegiant Air launching service to
Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport in September of that year. Nearly a decade later,
Avelo Airlines announced it would begin service from Ogden to Los Angeles’
Hollywood Burbank Airport on May 4, 2021. Both airlines ended their service at the airport in 2022. Allegiant Air citied a shortage of pilots, and Avelo noted a high fuel price. Service resumed again on February 21, 2024, with
Breeze Airways beginning service to Santa Ana's
John Wayne Airport. ==Facilities==
