Services between Fukui and Nagoya commenced from December 1, 1974 but all scheduled commercial flights were discontinued due to lack of passengers from March 1976.

In 1985, the Fukui Prefectural government announced a plan to lengthen the runway at Fukui Airport to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), and despite strong local opposition, a budget for the expansion was secured in the nation's 1986 Fifth Airport Improvement Budget.

Local opposition remained strong, and improved bus and train connections to Komaki Airport resulted in less and less passengers to Fukui Airport.

In 2001, the runway expansion project was shelved, and in June 2003 was cancelled in favour of pushing for completion of the Hokuriku Shinkansen high speed train.
