In 2024, the Eugene Airport handled 1,682,311 passengers, a 2.17% decrease from the previous year.<ref name="eugene=or.gov"/>

The airport was named for Mahlon Sweet (1886&ndash;1947), a Eugene automobile dealer who was a strong supporter of aviation and pushed to get the now-defunct Eugene Air Park built in 1919, followed by the current airfield in 1943.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://homepage.mac.com/friendlyarea/fannews12.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050519090014/http://homepage.mac.com/friendlyarea/fannews12.htm|url-status=dead|title=Friendly Area neighborhood website|archivedate=May 19, 2005}}</ref>

There is one [[fixed-base operator]] on field that caters to general aviation, Atlantic Aviation. Atlantic specializes in maintenance and working on larger general aviation aircraft like Gulfstreams and Learjets. They are the only on-airport company that has fuel trucks. There is also a general aviation self-serve fuel station located on the field.

Fairbanks Aircraft Service LLC is collocated with Eugene Flight Center and offers general aviation maintenance and repair services.

Mahlon Sweet is also home to the [[Lane Community College]] Flight Academy. LCC's Flight Technology Center provides flight instruction for private, commercial, instrument, multi-engine and flight instructor. Their fleet includes several Cessna 152s, a few Piper Warrior IIs, Piper Arrow IV, and a Piper Seminole.

The AMT program also operates a Pt. 145 Approved Repair Station. During the two-year program the students are taught all aspects of aircraft and helicopter maintenance and repair in preparation to pass the written and oral and practical exams to obtain FAA Airframe and Powerplants (A&P) certificates.
