Pembrokeshire County Council bought the site in the 1950s, and it has been a civil airfield since, with a number of other organisations also using it.

[3] It has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P595) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction, as authorised by the licensee, Pembrokeshire County Council.

[3] The Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm use the airport for refuelling their helicopters, when undertaking training exercises at the Pendine and Castlemartin ranges.

[8] Another unit based at the airfield at the time was the General Reconnaissance Aircraft Preparation Pool.

Minor alterations were required, but most of the initial infrastructure including runways was in better condition, and was therefore selected.

[9] On the 24 May 1952, Cambrian Airways began a twice daily scheduled service to Cardiff, ex-RAF Pengam Moors, using a de Havilland Dragon Rapide, registration G-AJCL.

[11] During the 1960's Channel Airways planned an air ferry service between Haverfordwest and Cork, in Ireland.

The airline added a concrete ramp to enable cars to be loaded into their Bristol B170 Freighter aircraft.

[11] Dyfed County Council was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, taking over the functions of Pembrokeshire.

A local air taxi, Welsh Airways, planned a regular scheduled service between Haverfordwest, Cardiff and London, but lacked the financial backing.

[14] The aerodrome usually has two fly-ins each year, one in May and the second in August,[15] along with the British Precision Pilots Association’s (BPPA) Regional Competition held in June and October.

[14] The BPPA Rally is held after the June competition, and the initial event took place on the 9 August 1989.

The airport profile was raised in 1996 when it was used to support the Marine Pollution Control Unit (MPCU) response for the Sea Empress oil spill.

The MPCU organises the UK response to oil spills and policy relies on dispersants.

[19] Redevelopment of the airport continued, in 2000 a new hangar, a small terminal waiting room and a café were constructed.
