Værnes is first recorded in the tenth century as the seat for one of eight chieftains in Trøndelag. The first military activity in the area was as a base for leidang. After the Viking Age , the farm at Værnes was taken over by the king and became the seat of the vogt. From , the farm was owned by a series of military officers and public servants.

In , the farm was bought by the Royal Norwegian Army and converted to a camp.

On 24 April civilians started construction at Værnes, and within a few days 2, people were hired. On 28 April, a new metres 2, ft wooden runway was completed.

The expansion was part of the plans for Festung Norwegen and was used as a bomber base for attacks on Northern Norway. By May, there were aircraft stationed at Værnes. In June, work was started to clear the forests near the airport, and graves from the Viking Age were found. Construction was halted for several weeks while German and Norwegian archaeologists conducted research.

In July, work started on building concrete runways, and by all three runways were finished. The east—west was made 1, metres 5, ft long, the north—south was made 1, metres 4, ft while the northwest—southeast was made 1, metres 4, ft long.

Because of the large investments made to Værnes by Luftwaffe, a commission was established in to look into if Værnes or Lade instead should be selected. The commission was unanimous in recommending Værnes, highlighting that the airport was of a sufficient size to handle all civilian and military needs in the foreseeable future, and emphasized the proximity to the railway and highway.

However, the commission recommended that Heimdal and Lade be kept as possibilities for future expansion. When the issue was discussed in Parliament , several members of the Standing Committee on Transport and Communications focused on the long distance to Trondheim, but the low investment needs stipulated to NOK 1. In , NATO approved the plans for Værnes to be financed through its infrastructure investment plan, after rejecting proposals for Heimdal.

The costs were estimated at NOK The east—west runway was to be extended to 2, metres 7, ft ; initial proposals had called for the extension to occur on the east side, but the Ministry of Defence instead wanted the expansion of the fjord-side to reduce expropriation costs. This called for a complex civil engineering program, as the railway and highway would have to pass under the runway in tunnels and an artificial island would have to be built in the fjord and the mouth of the Stjørdal River be diverted.

The first terminal was half a square-metre 1, sq ft barracks located beside a military hangar. The whole barracks was taken into use in , doubling the area.
