At the end of World War II, Sumner Atherton, a veteran aviator, set up Connecticut Valley Airways, and in 1947 he was successful in bidding for a 20-year lease to operate Lebanon Municipal Airport.

The airport was a stop on a daily round trip service operated by Northeast with a Douglas DC-3 linking New York City with Montreal.

According to the April 15, 1975 edition of the Official Airline Guide (OAG), Delta was no longer serving the airport with all flights at this time being operated by Air New England with Beechcraft 99, de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter and Fairchild Hiller FH-227 turboprop aircraft with nonstop service to Boston and Montpelier/Barre, VT as well as direct flights to New York LaGuardia Airport via a stop in Keene, NH.
