Background
The ground breaking ceremony for Masel International Airport (AMXL) took place on 1 October 1987 when the government decided that the existing Masel International Airport, officially then known as Kali International Airport (now Teraziz Airport) could not handle future demand. The 6th Prime Minister of Atlantsia Farid Chalis instigated the project as part of the development of Project Walkway a grand development plan for the nation.

Upon AXML's completion, Kali Airport's Terminal 2 building was demolished. AFBCA agreed to redevelop the remaining Terminal 1 to create Teraziz Airport a specialist airport for turboprop and charter planes surrounded by a residential area and a business park.
