In October 1984 the municipality of Pajala set up a commission to plan an airport in the region after three companies from the electronics and computer industries had settled in Pajala. However, construction of the airport did not begin until 15 years later, at the beginning of 1999. On September 15, 1999, the airport was opened by King Carl Gustaf . When the airport opened, there was a runway of 1420 × 30 meters. This was extended to 2302 × 45 meters in 2007.
