The airport was built in 1978, and two flights took place daily to Peshawar. and Islamabad before the airport was shut down during the First Battle of Swat in 2007. There were hopes of reopening the airport in 2012.[1] However, this reopening was repeatedly delayed due to the security situation. Nevertheless, after a hiatus of 17 years, the airport resumed flights from March 2021 onwards.[2]
Many visitors that come to the valley of Swat and to the Malam Jabba ski resort in summers fly to Swat through this airport.
