Line 40 ⟶ 43:
The airport opened as an [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] airfield in 1941. At the end of the war it served as the base for the 353th Fighter Squadron which defended against B-29s' raid. The airport then became under the administration of the [[British Commonwealth Occupation Force]] and became a country-administered civil airport in 1952. During the [[Korean War]], the airport was used by the US and British Military. It was the first airport in [[Shikoku]] to see jet service following a runway extension project in 1972.<ref>{{cite web |script-title=ja:空港整備事業|url=http://www.pa.skr.mlit.go.jp/matsuyama/5works/airport/index.html|publisher=[[MLIT]] Shikoku Maintenance Bureau (四国地方整備局)|language=ja|access-date=27 August 2013}}</ref>
