It currently has domestic flights to and from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang), Chiang Mai (on Nok Air), Hat Yai (on Thai Lion Air), Phuket (on Thai AirAsia), Rayong (on Thai AirAsia), and Ubon Ratchathani (on Nok Air).

Udon Thani Airport is the DOA's moneymaker, with profits reaching 100 million baht a year.

On 8 February 2006, an international group of skydivers from 31 countries called the "World Team" set a world record for the largest freefall formation, a 400-way,[5] over the Udon Thani airport.

The squadron previously flew F-5A/RF-5A/F-5B Freedom Fighter airplanes.

Udon Thani is one of the four slated for expansion and AOT management.
