A field airstrip of 1943–1944 received a concrete runway in 1950–1951 and until 1956 was the largest Hungarian military airfield. From November 1956 to 1991 it was used by Soviet aviation; the site of about 800 hectares housed two air regiments and a town with a hospital, school, sports hall, swimming pool and cinema. The Soviet units left the airfield in 1991.
