The station is home to several fast-jet squadrons operating the Eurofighter Typhoon, and has historically hosted Tornado GR4 aircraft prior to their retirement in 2019.

The IATA code LMO and ICAO code EGQS are assigned for coordination purposes, primarily serving military and government aviation needs.
