History
During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Force. The airport serves general aviation aircraft consisting of private and business aircraft, charters, sight-seeing, air ambulance, and flight training. In September 2012, Allegiant Air commenced non-stop scheduled service to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Prior to this service, the closest airport with scheduled airline flights is Salt Lake City International Airport, located approximately 30 miles south. In the event the Salt Lake City International Airport closes or has to turn away aircraft due circumstances such as weather conditions below landing minimums, Ogden-Hinckley is capable of accepting diverted commercial flights.
The airport is served by an FAA control tower with radar approach services provided by Salt Lake City TRACON.
