History

The airport was established in 1958.

On 9 April 1960 this was a refueling stop for Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 fighter jets from Sverdlovsk attempting to intercept one of Gary Powers' U-2 flights, however one of the MiG-19s crashed on approach to Orsk.

The modern airport building was built in 1982 and the modern artificial runway was laid in 1987.

The airport was the destination of Saratov Airlines Flight 703, which crashed killing 71 people in February 2018.
