On May 7, 1939, at the airfield, the formation of the 60th Fighter Aviation Regiment began on I-16 aircraft.
From 2000-2001 the base has been home to the 23rd Fighter Aviation Regiment (23 IAP) which flies the Sukhoi Su-30M2/SM and the Sukhoi Su-35S under the 303rd Composite Aviation Division. After the beginning of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the regiment received Guards status as the 23rd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment.
The airport is also the site of a major Sukhoi plant (GAZ 126), built in 1934, where the Sukhoi Su-7 and later models have been built. In September 2007, Sukhoi unveiled a passenger jet, the Superjet 100, at the airport. Beginning in January 2010, the new fifth generation stealth fighter jet the Sukhoi PAK FA (T-50) was built at Dzyomgi Airport.
The airfield has been reported as the factory airfield of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant (KnAAPO).
