[edit] History

The airport was constructed between 1941 and 1943 and was used as a bomber training airfield during World War II. In 1949 the US Government gave the airport to Cochise County for use as a regional air transportation center.

The airport is not served by any commercial airlines at this time, although in the 1960's the airport was served by commercial air service.
