Opened in 1944, the airport was operated by the U.S. Navy as Naval Auxiliary Air Station New Iberia from 1960 to 1965 before returning to civilian control. Today it supports helicopter operations for the offshore oil and gas industry, flight training, and cross-country training flights for NASA and the U.S. military.

Situated along US Highway 90, the future Interstate 49 corridor, the airport lies between Houston and New Orleans and is about 11 nautical miles southeast of Lafayette Regional Airport. It provides convenient road access to New Iberia, Lafayette, the Port of Iberia, and the broader Cajun Coast.
