History
The airport was established in 1958.[2]
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.[3]
The modern airport building was built in 1982 and the modern artificial runway was laid in 1987.[2]
The airport was the destination of Saratov Airlines Flight 703, which crashed killing 71 people in February 2018.[4]
