Previous passenger airline service

Until the mid 1970s, Apple Valley was served by Air West and successor Hughes Airwest with Fairchild F-27 turboprop flights to Las Vegas, Riverside, Ontario and Los Angeles (LAX). In 1979, commuter air carrier Inland Empire Airlines was serving the airport with Swearingen Metro propjet flights to Ontario, Los Angeles, Bullhead City and Las Vegas.[2]
