The terminal building has "A" gates on the upper level and "B" gates, ticketing, and baggage claim on the lower level. The airport has an expanded air cargo facility and three fixed-base operators (FBOs) to handle general aviation. In 2023, the Eugene Airport handled 1,719,629 passengers, a 9.2% increase from the previous year.
The airport was named for Mahlon Sweet (1886–1947), 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.
In 2010, a new airport rescue and firefighting facility was built.
EUG covers 2,600 acres (1,052 ha) of land.
