In the summer of 1992, after the formation of the Republic of Ingushetia, there was a need for its own airport. Already in November, it was decided to start construction on the basis of the Armavir military flight school. Almost 2 months later, the new airport in Ingushetia received the first aircraft.
In 1995 it was decided to build a new airport, which was commissioned by 2000. At the same time, it was decided to rename the Ingushetia airport to Magas airport.
In 2007, an open joint-stock company was created, which made it possible to finally secure the airport for the capital of Ingushetia.
At the end of 2011, the airport for the first time served UTair, whose plane successfully landed at Magas airport.
