It opened on September 15, 1997. The station was named after Valery Chkalov, a famous Russian aviator. A sculpture of him, which was created by V. Sveshnikov, was erected by the station's entrance. The station's decoration feature an aviation theme. The floor design invokes airport landing scripts, while the lights look like components of the ANT-6 airplane. The escalator lamps were designed to resemble propellers.
