On 1 October 1968 control of 109 Air Commando was passed from the Army to South African Air Force and was re-designated 109 Squadron.

109 Squadron terminated most flying operations on 31 January 1993 and disbanded on 31 March 1993 with suitable pilots transferred to 105 and 108 Commando Squadrons.
