History
The airport was commissioned in 1936, though the runway was unpaved until 1956. 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] On April 26, 2025 CCR was rebranded as Motiva.[6]
On November 18, 2025 the entire airports portfolio of Motiva was sold to the Mexican airport operator ASUR. Motiva will cease to operate airports.[7] On February 10, 2026 the transaction was still pending government approval.
