In response to the request of the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMİ) for a backup runway, prompted by increasing passenger traffic at Elazığ Airport and the need for repairs to the existing runway, it was reported that, within the scope of the nationwide efforts to combat terrorism and with the aim of ensuring a lasting environment of peace and security, plans were being made to establish an UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)–IUA (Unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft) unit at Elazığ Airport to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Interior (General Command of the Gendarmerie), and to relocate the Gendarmerie Air Group Command in Diyarbakır to Elazığ.
The contract was signed on 13 February 2018, and construction commenced following the handover of the site on 23 February 2018.
