The airport opened in 1982, replacing the older Minsk-1 facility that had previously handled air traffic in the region. This relocation allowed Belarus to receive larger aircraft and open new international connections.
The terminal building reflects Belarus architectural design through the work of multiple local architects including Boris Larchenko and Yury Grigoryev.

The facility features a specialized air traffic management system that coordinates the entire airspace over Belarus. This system allows the airport to manage multiple routes simultaneously and ensure safety across the national airspace.
