In operation since 1990, it is owned by the Boulder City Municipality. According to the FAA, this airport had 300,553 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 194,838 in 2009, and 169,923 in 2010. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport.
