History

On 26 August 2022, construction began on a new terminal with the ability to accommodate both domestic and potential international flights, and to accommodate increasing demand.[1] A first for the airport, the terminal will be equipped with three jetways.[2]

In 2023, the airport was officially granted status as an international airport of federal significance.[3]

On 20 September 2025, the new terminal was opened, allowing the operation of both domestic and potentially international flights.[4] The design of the terminal incorporates design features based on traditional Udmurt culture. The new terminal is capable of handling up to 400 passengers per hour, twice of the old terminal. The airport contains multilingual signage in Udmurt, Russian, Chinese and English.

On 14 November 2025, by a Decree of the President of Russia, the airport was named after the legendary firearms designer and resident of Izhevsk, Mikhail Kalashnikov.[5]
