History

Located at Barro Vermelho, between Dores and Ponta da Barca, it was projected in 1973, but only had the project and topographical surveys concluded in 1976, already by the regional authorities.

Built by the Azorean Regional Government between September 1979 and July 1981, its runway, 1325 meters long, was inaugurated on July 11, 1981. The original small air terminal was replaced by a new one, inaugurated on October 1, 2001.
