In 2008, the reconstruction of the airport was initiated. The plans for the renovation included the replacement cover and lengthening the runway to 2,600 meters (extension beyond 2,600 m was difficult, because on the one hand the airport borders on the federal highway M4, and on the other due to a ravine in front of the Voronezh Reservoir).
