[2] For Allies the airport was known as Palembang P1 (or just P1). The airport was re-built by the Japanese army during the Japanese occupation in 1942–1943.

On August 21, 1975, it became the Talang Betutu Civil Airport, and on April 3, 1985, the airport was renamed to Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport.
Effective April 1, 1991, the airport is officially managed by the Management of Perum Angkasa Pura II. On January 2, 1992 Management Perum Angkasa Pura II changed its status into PT (Persero) Angkasa Pura II.

The development resulted in an extension of the runway from 300 meters x 60 meters to 3,000 meters x 60 meters, a vehicle parking area of 20,000 meters which can accommodate 1,000 vehicles, a three-floor passenger terminal covering 13,000 square meters which can accommodate 1,250 passengers, equipped aerobridges, cargo terminals, and other support buildings covering an area of 1900 square meters. This development means Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport can accommodate Airbus A330, Boeing 747, Boeing 777, and other wide-body aircraft.
The airport was developed once again for 2018 Asian Games, which started in late 2016 and finished by 2017.
