The final transfer was in 1949, ending military ownership. On December 19, 1945, the military declared Redding AAF excess, and on November 18, 1946, it was turned over to the city for a civil airfield. Redding AAF was sporadically used by the Army Air Forces' Air Transport Command as a refueling and service stop. The mission was changed from training aircrews to being a refueling and maintenance facility for transient aircraft. The host unit was redesignated as the 4191st Army Air Force Base Unit. On November 1, 1944, control of Redding AAF was transferred from the Fourth Air Force to the Sacramento Area Command of the Army Air Forces' Air Technical Service Command headquartered at McClellan Field near Sacramento. The USAAF 399th Fighter Squadron, 369th Fighter Group operated P-39 Airacobras from the airfield for that mission. The mission of Redding Army Air Field was advanced flight training of new airmen prior to their deployment overseas into the combat zones of the Pacific, China, Mediterranean or European Theaters. It was under IV Fighter Command at Hamiltion AAF. Initially, this was a sub-base for Chico AAF and garrisoned by the 433d Army Air Force Base Unit. Before the airfield was built in 1942, the site was acquired by the United States Army Corps of Engineers for the United States Army Air Forces and built the Redding Army Airfield.

The city wanted a new airport and put in for a Works Progress Administration project that was called the Stillwater Airfield. In addition to general aviation, the airport has scheduled passenger flights nonstop to and from Burbank ( BUR) on Avelo Airlines Boeing 737s, Los Angeles ( LAX) and San Francisco ( SFO) on United Express Canadair CRJ200 and CRJ700 regional jets, and Alaska Airlines Embraer 175 service to Seattle ( SEA).

It is one of two airports in Redding, along with Benton Airpark. Redding Regional Airport ( IATA: RDD, ICAO: KRDD, FAA LID: RDD) is 6 miles (10 km) southeast of Redding in Shasta County, California, United States.
