DUBOIS REGIONAL AIRPORT HISTORY
In the early 1950s, the City of DuBois created a Municipal Airport Authority which looked into means of expanding the existing DuBois City Airport, in the Oklahoma section, east of the city. They determined that site was unsuitable for further expansion, and joined with Jefferson County officials to procure the present site, 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of DuBois. Construction was completed and the first flight was made on June 1, 1960 by Allegheny Airlines. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, radio navigational aids were added, including a non-directional beacon (DU), and finally a full Instrument Landing System (ILS) for runway 25 (IDUJ).
