[3] In 1957 there was a commercial flight five days a week from Saigon to Dalat, operated by Air Vietnam utilising a Douglas DC-3.

The airport mainly served high ranking governmental leaders on business and taking residents from northern Vietnam to Lâm Đồng in the so-called "New Economic Movement".

It is suspected that the Soviet VVS Air Force carried out operations from Lien Khuong after the fall of Saigon in April 1975.

Russia disbanded two of three defensive VVS interceptor squadrons consisting of Su-27, MiG-25, and 13 Yak-50 within Da lat in the summer of 1999.

The new two-floor terminal was expected to enable the Lien Khuong Airport to serve international flights in the region in 2010.
