History
The airport was inaugurated on September 20, 1982 as a replacement to an older facility located closer to the city center, in the neighborhood of Palmares. The area is now the site of the Bumbódromo.
Every June, during the Parintins Folklore Festival, its traffic is greatly increased by charter and extra flights. In 2024, in twelve days and with the help of the Brazilian Air Force, Parintins air traffic control handled 980 operations with an all-time peak of 172 movements on July 1, 2024.[3]
