The airport is spread over 60 acres (24 ha).[3] In 2011, the state public works department (PWD) prepared a proposed to of around ₹ 6 crore to renovate the airstrip. The masterplan included upgrading the terminal building with modern facilities, widening of the apron, a wider approach road from the national highway and construction of a compound wall.[2] In April 2013, the Government of Odisha began the process of acquiring more land in order to expand the airstrip.[1] The task of expansion was handed over to the Roads and Buildings Department. The runway was widened from 15 to 24 metres (49 to 79 ft) and a 2.5-kilometre (1.6 mi) boundary wall was built.[4] ₹ 55 crore was sanctioned for this project.[4]

In October 2019, the State Government approached the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) to upgrade the airport by extending the runway up to 5,000 feet.[5]

On October 20, 2022, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) granted Jeypore Airport the license to carry out commercial flight operations under the regional connectivity scheme.[6]

In October 31, 2022, the regional airline carrier, IndiaOne Air, began direct flight services from the airport to Bhubaneswar.[7]
