Kansai Airport Station opened on 15 June 1994, two and a half months before the airport itself, as the shared terminus of Nankai's Airport Line and JR West's Kansai Airport Line. During the initial pre-opening period the station was operational but only airport-related personnel could leave the concourse. Each operator runs its own ticket gates; the track section from Rinkū-town is leased from third-sector New Kansai International Airport. Service was suspended from 4 September 2018 after Typhoon Jebi sent a tanker into the access bridge, and resumed on 18 September 2018 once the rail span was repaired.

The station sits inside Tajiri town but the northern end of its platforms extends into neighbouring Izumisano city, so the platforms straddle a municipal boundary.
