The airfield was used during World War II by the RAF and other Allied Forces to counter Indian freedom fighters led by Subhas Chandra Bose.[6] After India gained Independence from the British, the airfield was abandoned.

In August 2018, the airport received a 4C category licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), making Jharsuguda the second commercial airport in Odisha after Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar.[9] The airport is eligible to land A-320 type Airbus aircraft.[10]


On 22 September 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the airport, in the presence of Odisha Governor Ganeshi Lal, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, former Union Minister of Civil Aviation Suresh Prabhu and former Bargarh Lok Sabha Member Prabhas Singh.[11]
