A construction of a civil international airport based on the military facility was scheduled to be completed by summer 2009, to coincide with 1150th anniversary of Veliky Novgorod. The reconstruction of military airbase into a civil airport for scheduled flights has been postponed multiple times for many reasons, the last attempt was undertaken in 2019–2020, the airport is scheduled to open in 2024.[4]

Currently Krechevitsy is used by light aviation amateurs.[5] Basic ground facilities such as refuelling and traffic control are available.[6] In September 2019 Severstal airline company made a test flight to Krechevitsy with its CRJ-200 regional jet.[7]
