The airport was established in 1932 as a strip of grass under the name of Welschap Airport.

The airport was quickly captured and developed by the German forces during the Dutch War. The airport was captured by the US army after a while and it was returned to the Dutch Royal Air Force in 1952.
In 1984, a terminal building was established in the airport area for civil air traffic. After the end of the Cold War, Eindhoven was transformed into a military shipping base.
In 2012, expansion efforts were initiated throughout the airport and various projects were implemented in the following years. The construction of a 4-star hotel by Holiday Inn started in 2018, and was opened in 2019.
