Historical airline service Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) continued to serve Farmington with DC-3s through the 1950s and added flights to Phoenix making several en-route stops as well. In 1958 Frontier created a mini-hub at Farmington operating 13 flights per day with as many as five DC-3 aircraft on the ground at one time. Through the 1960s Frontier upgraded their aircraft with Convair 340 piston engine aircraft and later with Convair 580 turboprops. By 1981, Frontier had discontinued all flights to Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City; however, the flights to its Denver hub (with a fuel stop in Durango) were upgraded to Boeing 737-200 jetliners from 1982 through 1984. The Denver flights were then reverted to Convair 580 aircraft operated as Frontier Commuter before all service was discontinued in early 1985. Aspen Airways first came to Farmington for a period in 1979 and flew Convair 580s nonstop to Denver and Albuquerque. The carrier returned to Farmington in 1983 with flights only to Denver and became a United Express affiliate in 1986. Some flights were then operated with the British Aerospace 146 jet. Mesa Airlines was developed and headquartered at Farmington beginning in 1980. Mesa initially flew small aircraft to Albuquerque and later added service to Phoenix and Denver with larger aircraft accommodating up to 37 passengers. Mesa became a United Express affiliate from 1990 through 1998 on its flights to Denver and an America West Express affiliate on its flights to Phoenix from 1992 through 2008. The carrier continued to operate to Albuquerque under its own branding until 2007, often flying an hourly shuttle. Through the 1990's the carrier operated up to 30 flights per day at Farmington. All service ended in 2008. Great Lakes Airlines provided service from 1998 through 2017 with flights to Denver and at times would fly westbound to Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. When service ended in 2017, Farmington was left with no commercial air service. The airport received a Small Community Air Service Development Program grant in 2019 for SkyWest Airlines to begin service to Denver as United Express. The service was set to begin on October 15, 2020, but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic followed by a shortage of pilots at SkyWest. Once a day inbound and outbound flights between Farmington and Denver finally began in May 2025.
