During World War II, the airport was used as a military airfield by the United States Army Air Forces Twelfth Air Force during the North African campaign. It was called Oujda Airfield Known units assigned were:

HQ 5th Bombardment Wing, Dec 1942-Jan 1943
HQ 52d Troop Carrier Wing, 8 May-Jul 1943

68th Reconnaissance Group, Nov 1942-24 Mar 1943, (Various photo-reconnaissance aircraft)

After the Americans moved out their active units in mid-1943, the airport was used as a stopover and landing field for Air Transport Command aircraft on the Caablanca-Algiers transport route. When the war ended, control of the airfield was returned to civil authorities.
