The airport was constructed on 52 hectares land at an estimated cost of ₹ 21 crore. The contract was earlier awarded to RITES, but was cancelled and awarded to the Uttar Pradesh State Construction Corporation.[6] The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) asked the State Government in November 2012 to hand over the airfield in Moradabad and an additional 300-350 acres land, free of cost, to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) in order to upgrade the airfield for commercial operations. The AAI had proposed to develop a taxi track, an apron, isolation bay, navigational aids, localiser, glide path, terminal building, Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower and hangars.[7] The Uttar Pradesh cabinet approved to hand over the airstrip to AAI in September 2013.[8]
As of June 2022, construction of the airport is completed, including the upgraded runway, a taxi track, the approach road and the passenger terminal. The airport is commence operations from 23 October 2022, with its first flight to Delhi, by operating a 19-seater aircraft.[9]
