History


From its creation in 1934 up until 1992, the airport was named 'Brees Field', after United States Army general Herbert Brees. In order to receive B-24 Bombers, the runways were first paved in 1944. [2] This also made possible commercial service, which started in 1945. In 1959, the terminal building was built.
