History

The airport started operating in the 1930s as a military airfield. In the 1950s, the airport began to operate with commercial flights. The passenger terminal was dedicated in 1964.

Since 1975 it is operated by Infraero. The passenger terminal was enlarged from 1,500m² to 5,000m² during the 1980s and to 6,082 m in 1998.

Previously operated by Infraero, on August 18, 2022 the consortium AENA won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[3]
