The first, still grass, airfield near Csákvár was laid out between the two world wars. In the early 1970s Soviet troops built a concrete runway more than two kilometres long, a service road and twelve helicopter pads here. After the withdrawal of the Soviet troops the airfield remained state property and has been out of use since 1990.

Первый, ещё травяной, аэродром у Чаквара устроен между двумя мировыми войнами. В начале 1970-х годов советские войска построили здесь бетонную взлётно-посадочную полосу длиной более двух километров, служебную дорогу и двенадцать вертолётных площадок. После вывода советских войск аэродром остался в государственной собственности и с 1990 года не используется.
