history
The first official flight movement was in 1930. During the Second World War the airport was a base of the Hungarian Air Force. From March 1944 an air base command of the German Air Force was located here, which supported the flying units of the German Air Force (e.g. parts of Kampfgeschwader 4 ) stationed here from August 1944 . After the Second World War until 1990, the Soviet Air Force was in control of the airport. In 1991 the airport was transferred to the Hungarian state. Then the airport was expanded. Up until 2004 the city of Debrecen invested 3.5 billion Hungarian forints (around 12 million euros) in this. In 2011, the Xanga Group took over 75% of the ownership and took over the operation and further expansion of the airport.
