History
In 1923, Aberdeen hosted the first fly-in event in South Dakota. During World War II, the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a contract glider training airfield owned by Anderson & Brennan Flying Service, beginning on 25 May 1942. The mission of the school was to train glider pilot students in proficiency in operation of gliders in various types of towed and soaring flight, both day and night, and in servicing of gliders in the field. They primarily used C-47 Skytrains and Waco CG-4 Gliders.
From the 1950s to 2002 the airfield was converted into a commercial airport. Airlines such as Northwest, United Express(operated by Great Lakes Airlines), and Republic Airlines were now operated at a small terminal (now a Ground Crew shed) in the middle of the airport. A new terminal was built in 2006 south of the hangers, now equipped with a ground based Jetway able to connect to aircraft as large as a Boeing 737. In, 2008 United pulled out of Aberdeen due to a decrease in travel, with Northwest as the sole airline continuing to operate now with Saab 340 (Operated by Mesaba Airlines), and Avro RJ85 aircraft through the 2000s under a multiple stop route.Delta Connection would replace Northwest after the merge, continuing the multiple stop routes to Minneapolis. Delta ended its use of Saab 340 aircraft hence forth ending the multiple stop route. The CRJ200 being the replacement operated by Skywest, would now operate under non stop service to Minneapolis for the next 12 years.
In 2019, a new larger jetway was added to the airport, which was able to support aircraft as big as an Airbus A321. In 2020, the town announced a 20 year plan to expand the terminal adding another gate, extend runway 13/31, add a agricultural facility, add more hangers, and rework taxiways. In 2021, Aberdeen renewed their contract with Skywest to continue their air service at Aberdeen after Pierre and Watertown replaced Skywest's United operations with Denver Air Connection. In 2022, the airport had moved runway 17/35 southwest of the airport removing its intersection with 13/31. The airport's main taxiway aligned with 13/31 was also revamped. The long 12 year CRJ200 service at the airport ended in October of 2023 being replaced by the CRJ700, and CRJ900.
