The initial USAAF transport unit at Rhein-Main was the 466th Air Service Group, activated on 20 November 1945.
 The 466th operated the aerial port, with a mixture of C-47 Skytrain, C-46 Commando, and C-54 Skymaster transport aircraft using the base for transport operations.
 The Rhein-Main transport passenger and cargo terminal was completed in 1946, and air traffic into Rhein-Main increased after the closure of the military passenger terminal at Orly Air Base, France, in March 1947, when the USAFE Eastern Air Transport Service  opened its hub at Rhein-Main.

The 61st Troop Carrier Group was reassigned to Rhein-Main on 30 September 1946 from nearby Eschborn Air Base and assumed control of the transport mission, carrying out routine transport operations from the base using C-47s and C-54s.
 Troop Carrier Squadrons of the 61st TCG were the 14th, 15th, and 53rd.
