The 12th FAI World Aerobatic Championships were held at the airport where Peter Besenyei achieved excellent results.

While currently there are no regular or chartered commercial flights, the airport operator and local politics are working to establish such as soon as possible.

In December 2008, an upgrade of the hangars has been completed which can since accommodate 8-seater aircraft.

Through July 23-31, 2010, the FAI Control Line World Championships were held at the airport.

The airport is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the centre of Békéscsaba and 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) west from the Hungarian-Romanian border next to Highway 44, a four-lane expressway between Békéscsaba and Gyula.
