But with the development of the national economy in the region, a large-scale expansion of interregional air transportation was required, and in 1948 it was decided to develop the Elizovo airport as an independent airline.
After significant reconstruction and technical re-equipment in the late 50s, the airport began regular air travel to Khabarovsk and Moscow. Rapidly developing and expanding the geography of flights, the airport by the mid-80s received heavy aircraft such as An-124, A-310 and wide-body Boeings.
In 1995, the airport received international status, with the right to carry out charter passenger and cargo flights.
