History

The aerodrome was constructed in 1927, when the Department of Defence constructed a terminal for the first aerial postal route in Canada. During the 1930s and 1940s, programs to combat unemployment during the Great Depression as well as defence requirements during the Second World War led to the expansion of the aerodrome. In 1946, the City of Rimouski started renting the aerodrome from the federal government. The civilian use of the field would contribute to the rise of Quebecair until 1969.

On 20 April 1999, Transport Canada awarded the airport certificate number 5151-1-Q208.

On 19 April 2002, the city acquired the airport from the federal government. Since then, the city has owned and operated the airport.

In 2017, the airport reverted to the status of registered aerodrome.
