Construction of the airport started in 1970. It opened for operations in 1980.{{Citation needed|date=May 2015}}

In 2005, the airport launched Terminal 2 for handling transit and international passengers. By 2006, the old runway coating had been replaced by an asphalt-concrete layer with reinforced polymeric netting.

In November 2007, it was announced that Lufthansa Cargo might switch its Asian refueling and distribution point from Astana, Kazakhstan, to Krasnoyarsk (Yemelyanovo) International Airport, because Russia would no longer permit Lufthansa the use of its air space for their Europe to Asia flights unless they could sell fuel. In July 2008, Lufthansa stated that it would move its cargo logistics hub from Astana to Krasnoyarsk (Yemelyanovo) once the airport was brought up to ICAO safety standards.{{cite web |url=http://www.cargonewsasia.com/secured/article.aspx?id=15&article=16410 |title=Kazakhstan will lose $600m when Lufthansa quits |website=www.cargonewsasia.com |access-date=2 February 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120723035704/http://www.cargonewsasia.com/secured/article.aspx?id=15&article=16410 |archive-date=23 July 2012 |url-status=dead}} The cargo terminal of Lufthansa Cargo in Krasnoyarsk (Yemelyanovo) airport was its second largest one after Frankfurt. However, in October 2016, Lufthansa Cargo switched all flights from Krasnoyarsk (Yemelyanovo) to another Siberian airport Tolmachevo (Novosibirsk) citing its better infrastructure and the ability to outsource certain services whereas in Krasnoyarsk the company “had to involve its own personnel and equipment”.{{cite web|title=Lufthansa Cargo switches Krasnoyarsk for Novosibirsk|date=21 September 2016|url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/lufthansa-cargo-switches-krasnoyarsk-for-novosibirsk/|publisher=Russian Aviation Insider|access-date=21 November 2016}} On the other hand, AirBridgeCargo Airlines switched its activities vice versa from Tolmachevo Airport to Yemelyanovo in January 2018.{{cite web|title=Аэропорт "Красноярск" заключил договор с компанией AirBridgeCargo|date=16 January 2018|url=https://ksonline.ru/304038/aeroport-krasnoyarsk-zaklyuchil-dogovor-s-kompaniej-airbridgecargo/|publisher=Континент Сибирь|access-date=25 June 2018}}

In 2008, the modern Arrivals Terminal with the capacity of 750 passengers per hour was opened. Also in 2008, the lighting facilities were reconstructed and the new hi-intensity lighting system was installed: the centerline lights and the touchdown zone lights.{{cite web|url=http://www.yemelyanovo.ru/en/about|title="Yemelyanovo" - international airport|website=www.yemelyanovo.ru|access-date=26 December 2017}} In 2011, the airport handled over 1.6 million passengers, a 28% increase over 2010.

In November 2017, the general director of the airport has announced that the airport will now be called Krasnoyarsk-International, instead of Krasnoyarsk-Yemelyanovo. It is unknown if the airport has as yet been officially renamed.{{cite web|url=https://www.krsk.kp.ru/online/news/2947210/|title=Новый аэропорт Красноярска: название "Емельяново" станет историей|newspaper=kp.ru|date=29 November 2017}}

Before 2019, RZD made a decision to construct a railway line to the airport, but due to escape of high ticket price and small train occupancy, this will not be an Aeroexpress route, this will be a simple commuter service. Nevertheless, the route will also serve cargo trains, to deliver air-cargo goods directly to Krasnoyarsk.{{cite web|url=http://tvk6.ru/publications/news/28017/|title=Железную дорогу до аэропорта Емельяново проложат через Минино и Дрокино|newspaper=tvk6.ru|date=18 July 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://rg.ru/2017/04/14/reg-sibfo/krasnoiarsk-i-aeroport-emelianovo-sviazhet-zheleznaia-doroga.html|title=К трапу по рельсам|newspaper=RG.ru|date=14 April 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.prima-tv.ru/news/politics/44972-ehlektrichka_v_aehroport_vsjotaki_poyavitsya/|title=Электричка в аэропорт всё-таки появится|newspaper=prima-tv.ru|date=21 April 2017|access-date=31 October 2017|archive-date=30 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171030171643/http://prima-tv.ru/news/politics/44972-ehlektrichka_v_aehroport_vsjotaki_poyavitsya/|url-status=dead}}

In March 2019, Aeroflot signed an agreement with the government of the Krasnoyarsk region and Yemelyanovo Airport to create a local international hub. The project will start in 2020.{{cite web|url=https://www.aeroflot.ru/de-en/news/61287|title=Aeroflot signs agreement to create hub in Krasnoyarsk|publisher=Aeroflot|date=1 March 2019}} On 31 May 2021, Aeroflot officially commenced its hub operation in Krasnoyarsk.{{cite web|url=https://tass.ru/ekonomika/11513311|title="Аэрофлот" открыл международный хаб в Красноярске|newspaper=TASS|date=31 May 2021}}

Krasnoyarsk Yemelyanovo's location is an unusual case, as the airfield is located right next to a smaller airfield, Cheremshanka. The reason this is unusual and slightly problematic is that since Cheremshanka is right next to the airfield, it can be easily confused as being Yemelyanovo, and what adds to the location issue is the fact that both airfields share their runway bearings - 11/29 - with each other. This, as a result, makes the two airports look like one, which is especially problematic as the only way to distinguish the two is the runway lengths - Cheremshanka has a shorter runway than Yemelyanovo - and the fact that no taxiway connects the two airfields.

At present, the airport provides a full array of passenger handling services in all three terminals, including VIP services, a business lounge, baby/parent room, ATMs, shops, cafés, bars, a drugstore and a post office. Runway 29 is certified for ILS Category II operations. The runway condition, the facilities and the technology of aircraft handling allows the airport to service more than 50 types of passenger and freighter aircraft, up to and including the Boeing 777, Boeing 767, Boeing 747, Airbus A330 family, McDonnell Douglas MD-11, Antonov An-124 and others.

At Krasnoyarsk (Yemelyanovo) International Airport, the new terminal is under construction and currently the construction is planned to finish by November 2017. On 16 December 2017, the airport plans to test the new passenger terminal and to commence operations also in December.{{cite web |url= http://trk7.ru/news/72476.html |title= Тестирование нового терминала "Емельяново" отложили на месяц|newspaper=trk7.ru|date=8 November 2017}} The terminal will have 6 air-bridges.{{cite web |url= http://www.krsk.aif.ru/society/aeroport_emelyanovo_nabiraet_volontyorov_na_testirovanie_novogo_terminala|title=Аэропорт Емельяново набирает волонтёров на тестирование нового терминала |newspaper=aif.ru|date=29 September 2017}}

On 8 December 2017, the new baggage system was tested at the airport, another testing opening is planned on 16 December. The airport opened officially on 26 December 2017, with the flight commencement on the next day, with NordStar Boeing 737-800 to Norilsk.{{cite web|url=http://gornovosti.ru/glavnoe/nazvan-den-otkrytiya-novogo-terminala-aeroporta-emelianovo97650.htm|title=Новый терминал аэропорта Емельяново откроют 26 декабря|newspaper=gornovosti.ru|date=10 December 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.krsk.kp.ru/online/news/2958238/|title=Новый аэропорт в Красноярске откроют 26 декабря|newspaper=kp.ru|date=10 December 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://ngs24.ru/news/more/52799491/|title=Названа дата открытия нового терминала аэропорта Емельяново|newspaper=ngs24.ru|date=10 December 2017}}

On 16 March 2018, the air-bridges started working, by accepting the first flight from Moscow-Domodedovo of Globus Airlines GH73, that arrived at 18:50.{{cite web|url=https://krasnoyarsk.vibirai.ru/articles/aeroport_krasnoyarsk_zapustil_teletrapy-2346966|title=Аэропорт Красноярск запустил телетрапы|newspaper=vibirai.ru|date=19 March 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://krasnoyarsk.bezformata.ru/listnews/teletrapi-v-aeroportu-zapustili-na/65607238/|title=Телетрапы в аэропорту запустили на несколько дней раньше|newspaper=bezformata.ru|date=17 March 2018}}

The terminal currently serves domestic routes, which made terminal 1 to shut down the passenger service on 27 December. The international flights will shift in 2018 and then terminal 2 will shut down the service and the new terminal will be the only passenger terminal in the airport.

The re-construction of Terminal 1 is currently in process and it is planned to be changed in design, to easily integrate with the new terminal, and function. The old terminal will turn into a conference centre, to accept VIP flights more smoothly.{{cite web|url=http://newslab.ru/news/843040|title=На ремонт старого терминала красноярского аэропорта потратят 800 миллионов|newspaper=newslab.ru|date=3 July 2018}}
