The airfield was laid out in the early 1940s as the works airfield of the Danube Aircraft Factory. Soviet troops took it in November 1944, and from late 1945 it was used for decades by the Soviet Air Forces; from 1968 Hungarian transport aviation was also based there. On 5 June 1991 the headquarters of the 36th Air Army handed the airfield over to the Hungarian Defence Forces.

Аэродром создан в начале 1940-х годов как заводской аэродром Дунайского авиационного завода. Советские войска заняли его в ноябре 1944 года, а с конца 1945 года началось многолетнее использование аэродрома советскими военно-воздушными силами; с 1968 года на нём базировалась и венгерская транспортная авиация. 5 июня 1991 года штаб 36-й воздушной армии передал аэродром Венгерской армии.
