Scheduled aviation from Växjö started around 1960 from Uråsa airbase, 20 km (10 miles) south of Växjö. A larger airport was needed, so it was built at its present location in 1975.

In April 2020, the Stockholm route was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, but was restarted in August 2021.[3] The alternative route to Stockholm is by train (3½ hours) or a flight fromKalmar, the nearest airport with regular flights to Stockholm.
