History

The airport was commissioned in 1936 but only in 1956 the runway was paved. In 1958 a new terminal, a project by Remo Veronesi, was opened, and in 2000 it was extensively renovated and enlarged.

Previously operated by Infraero, on April 7, 2021 CCR won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.^[5]
