In the 70s, Soviet civil aviation began to develop rapidly, so there was a need to modernize the conditions for servicing passenger traffic. In 1982, construction began on a new complex on the site of the current airport. The largest enterprises of the region take part in the work. In 1984, the construction of a new runway began. In this regard, civil aircraft are accepted at the Pervomaisky military airfield, not far from Orsk.

In 1998, Orsk Airport received the status of an international air transport hub.
