Formerly known as the Raineries aerodrome, it is managed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Le Mans and Sarthe.

The aerodrome was formerly known as the Raineries aerodrome before adopting the Le Mans-Arnage name. It has long served local sporting bodies, with football and basketball teams using it for travel to national and European away fixtures, and it plays a recurring role during the Le Mans 24 Hours, when it receives private guests and competitors' aircraft.
The airfield continues to be managed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Le Mans and Sarthe and supports general aviation traffic, including sports-team travel and private aircraft visiting for the Le Mans 24 Hours race.
