[1] For the 12-month period ending July 11, 2008, the airport had 18,500 aircraft operations, an average of 50 per day: 97% general aviation and 3% military.

[1] Trans-Texas Airways (TTa) and its successor Texas International Airlines served Lufkin with scheduled passenger air service for over 27 years.

In the fall of 1949, Houston-based TTa was operating 21-seat Douglas DC-3 aircraft (which the airline called the "Starliner") into the airport six times a day with all flights operating three daily round trip routings of Houston Hobby Airport - Galveston - Beaumont/Port Arthur - Lufkin - Palestine, TX - Dallas Love Field.

[3] TTa then changed its name to Texas International Airlines which in the summer of 1970 was operating 15-seat Beechcraft 99 commuter turboprops into Lufkin with nonstop service to Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and direct flights to Dallas Love Field (DAL) via Longview and Tyler.

[5] Texas International then ceased serving Lufkin during the mid 1970s and the air carrier was eventually merged into Continental Airlines.
