Harrisburg International Airport has served Central Pennsylvania for over 100 years. First, in 1898, the Signal Corps of the U.S. Army was stationed here. Then, the first airplanes landed in 1918 at what was then called Olmsted Air Force Base. The base grew to 11,400 civilian employees in 1969, when it was decommissioned. At this point, Harrisburg International Airport began to serve the public, under the ownership of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
