The airport was built during the period of USSR control during World War II.

It was the base for 600 VTAP (600th Military Transport Aviation Regiment) flying Il-76 and An-12 from September 1958, until 1992 when the unit was relocated to Shadrinsk, Kurgan Oblast.[1] While in Lithuania the regiment was under command of the 3rd Guards, 12th and 18th (4.66 - 1998) Military Transport Aviation Divisions. During the 1980s, under glasnost, the Soviet government admitted the crimes of the Stalinist era and allowed the long overdue repatriation of the remains of Lithuanian victims to return from Siberia. The Soviet government didn't want the arrivals of the repatriation flights to become public spectacles, further inflaming the rising nationalist sentiments, so the remains were flown into Kedainai and then transported to Vilnius and Kaunas.
