[1] Twelve Avro 504 aircraft were stationed at the air base but flying was limited due to shortage of fuel and spare parts during World War I.
Shortly after the war, Det Danske Luftfartsselskab (later Scandinavian Airlines) used the airfield for its first civilian test flights.
The Royal Danish Navy's air squad briefly operated out of Avedøre in 1921–23 before moving its activities to Kastrup.
The site was used for testing of bomber engines after repairs at A/S Nordwerk, a collaborationist company based in Copenhagen.
[2] After the war, the site was used as a storage facility by the Avedørelejren military installation and Hvidovre Municipality.
Avedøre Airfield was put up for sale by the government-owned property company Freja Ejendomme in December 2017.
