On 25 July 1977, the airport changed its name to Adi Sumarmo Airport, which was taken from the name of Adisumarmo Wiryokusumo, the younger brother of Augustinus Adisucipto.

On 28 January 2008, the airport was closed to all commercial traffic for several hours while the body of former Indonesian President Suharto was transported from Jakarta's Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport.
