The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems called it a ''primary commercial service'' airport.

The airport has non-stop flights to 15 cities. It is headquarters for American Eagle carrier PSA Airlines. On August 12, 2012 Southwest Airlines began serving Dayton with flights to Denver International Airport. This was expected to be a major boost to the airport and increase passenger traffic by at least 15 percent. Expansion room exists, with plenty of open gates, though Concourse D, which was built in 1978 and used by Piedmont Airlines and US Airways for their mini-hub operation until its closure in 1991, was demolished in 2013. Dayton International is separate from Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport, a municipal airport south of the city in Miami Township, also owned and operated by the City of Dayton. In 2015, Southwest Airlines announced a major reduction in flights to and from Dayton. Nonstop flights to Baltimore, Denver, Orlando and Tampa all end April 11, 2016. This will leave only one nonstop destination from Dayton via Southwest. Passenger traffic is down nearly 9% since 2014, along with aircraft departures down 8%. Fares from Dayton have continued to rise while neighboring airports are lowering fares with new low cost carriers. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has drastically reduced fares since 2014 while also experiencing nearly 6% growth in passengers.〔http://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=DAY&Airport_Name=Dayton,%20OH:%20James%20M%20Cox/Dayton%20International&carrier=FACTS〕 ==History== In August 1928 a property in Vandalia, Ohio was called the "Dayton Airport". On December 17, 1936 the airport opened as the "Dayton Municipal Airport" with three concrete runways and connecting taxiways. In 1952 the city named the airport "James M. Cox-Dayton Municipal Airport" in honor of the former Governor of Ohio and Democratic candidate for President of the United States. A ground breaking ceremony was held in 1959 for a new $5.5 million terminal designed by Yount, Sullivan and Lecklider,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Ohio Architect Magazine Listing of Ohio Buildings, 1954–1970 )〕 completed in 1961. The airport's name became "James M. Cox Dayton International Airport" in 1975. The April 1957 OAG shows 73 weekday departures: 56 TWA, 13 American and 4 Lake Central. TWA had two nonstops to New York but no other nonstops reached beyond Chicago-Detroit-Cleveland-Pittsburgh-Cincinnati. The airport was a hub for Piedmont Airlines from July 1, 1982 until its merger with US Airways, which continued the Dayton hub for a year or two. In March 1988 Piedmont had nonstops from Dayton to 27 airports, California to Boston to Florida, plus eight more on its prop affiliate. USAir and successor US Airways kept Dayton as a focus-city. The airport was a hub for Emery Worldwide, a freight carrier. In 1981 Emery Worldwide completed an air freight hub sortation facility next to Runway 6L–24R. Emery added to the facility until the early 1990s, making it one of the world's largest air freight facilities at the time. A$50 million renovation of the airport's terminal building, designed by Levin Porter Associates,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Levin Porter Associates )〕 was completed in 1989. A new 2-lane access road was built.〔 In 1998 the airport started renovating the terminal building. The $25 million project was completed in 2002. The renovations included energy efficient climate control systems, lighting, windows and entry/exit doorways, a new paging system, and ceiling tiles and carpeting. The news, gift shops, and food and beverage concessionaires improved their leased areas in the terminal building.〔 Today the airport covers over , and has about of runway.
