Formerly used as an air/sea rescue base during and after World War II, the facility was deeded to Levy County. It serves as a basic utility itinerant airport in Levy County for the resort and recreation activities of the City of Cedar Key. Its service area includes the City of Cedar Key, City of Rosewood, City of Sumner and City of Vista. It is one of two airports in the county, serving with the Williston Municipal Airport in Williston. It is located approximately 52 miles SW of Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) and 43 miles W of Ocala International Airport-Jim Taylor Field.

A five year construction plan to improve visual aids at the airport got underway by the Department of Transportation in 1998. As of 2006, the facility averaged 77 flights per week.
