History

In 1936, the airfield was built by the city of Rodez. By an order in 6 February 1947, Rodez - Onet-le-Château was listed among public aerodromes.

In 1964 the airfield had build two tracks of runway. By the early 1960s, the airfield became too close to the edge of Rodez City, hindering expansion of the airfield. Therefore the decision was made in 1965 to build a new airfield further from town.

Although the airfield closed, the runway markers are still visible, later tennis courts have appeared on the 10/28 runway

Currently, the airfield is used as a sports complex with 4 tennis courts on site.
