The airport opened as a recreational glider airport on March 31, 1946.[1]
After 1989, the runway was shortened to 550 meters due to disputes with landowners.[2]
In 2008, the airport was purchased by Ivo Lukačovič.[3] The service buildings were rebuilt, the property secured by a fence, a museum and public playground were added, and the runway was lengthened to 870 meters.
