History

The first airline flights were on Chicago and Southern in 1945; Trans-Texas arrived in 1953 and Delta/C&S soon pulled out. The last TI Convair 600 left in 1977.

It was served by SeaPort Airlines, a service subsidized by the federal government's Essential Air Service program at a cost of $1,977,153 (per year). SeaPort Airlines ceased operations on September 20, 2016.

In May 2024, the main runway was repaved. Also, the runway numbers were updated to 05 / 23.

In March 16–17 in 2026, Contour Airlines made its first, scheduled flight to El Dorado. It is the first scheduled jet service in this airport.
