. In 2024, the Eugene Airport handled 1,682,311 passengers, a 2.17% decrease from the previous year. The airport was named for Mahlon Sweet (1886–1947), a Eugene automobile dealer who was a strong supporter of aviation and pushed to get the now-defunct Eugene Air Park built in 1919, followed by the current airfield in 1943. In 2010, a new airport rescue and firefighting facility was built. EUG covers 2,600 acres (1,052 ha) of land.

History

At the request of Mahlon Sweet, the original Eugene Air Park was built in 1919 at what is now the southeast corner of West 18th Avenue and Chambers Street (). This first airstrip took care of all aviation operations until the modern Mahlon Sweet Field opened in 1943. The original site ceased operations in the summer of 1956. During
