The airport was built by PT Arun NGL to facilitate the transport of Lhokseumawe and its vicinity to the city of Medan. The airport served by the airline ever since at least Jatayu Air passenger land transport between Banda Aceh and Medan.

After a few years, flight operations were taken over by the Beechcraft 1900D airliner owned by Travira Air. Towards the lid PT Arun NGL, operation and ownership of the airport were turned over to the City of Lhokseumawe.
