A hangar for maintenance of aircraft was built west of the runway in 1914, next to a farm.

Since 1933 operations have been controlled by Aéroport de la région lausannoise "La Blécherette" S.A. At the close of World War II, Lausanne's municipal government made plans to develop a proper regional airport for the city.

[2] However, efforts to begin such development ultimately failed to materialize and Ecublens fell out of use, leaving Lausanne-Blécherette as the only remaining operational aerodrome for the city.

The airfield features two maintenance hangars as well as a main building containing a restaurant.

The runway has a slope, which means the maximum length for takeoff/landing varies depending on the direction[4] between 775 and 805 m. Lausanne Airfield can be reached via the A9 motorway or public bus lines 1 and 21 of Transports publics de la région lausannoise.
