[edit] History

The airport's Air Traffic Control Tower opened in 2005. Previously, the airport was uncontrolled. When the control tower opened, the nearby airspace was converted to Class D airspace, encompassing a radius of 4 nautical miles around the airport and up to 7000 feet MSL (2500 feet AGL), with a circular cutout in the southern portion surrounding nearby Spanish Fork-Springville Airport, which was not converted to Class D.
