Until the 1970s, Batu Berendam was a relatively rural village, with rice farming being the main economic activity. Batu Berendam used to be accessible by train from Pulau Sebang like other towns along the Malacca River during the British colonial era, until the Imperial Japanese Army dismantled the railway track during World War II, part of which ran through what is now the airport runway.
In 1990, Batu Berendam became Malacca's premier aerospace manufacturing hub, when Composites Technology Research Malaysia (now CTRM Holdings Sdn Bhd) set up a factory on the west side of Malacca Airport to produce Eagle light aircraft. However, production of these aircraft ceased in 2005 due to low demands, and it shifted its focus towards producing components for Airbus, Boeing and Embraer aircraft.
