History
On July 21, 1953, within a law prescribing rules for the naming of airports, the name of the facility was officially and exceptionally maintained as Palmares Airport. However, on 16 December 1999 its name was changed to celebrate Zumbi dos Palmares (1645–1695) one of the pioneers of resistance to slavery in Brazil.
The airport complex underwent major expansion in 2005, in which the new passenger terminal and the apron were renovated followed by the runway which was extended to 2,602 meters.
Previously operated by Infraero, on 15 March 2019 AENA won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.
On 13 July 2023, AENA inaugurated some modernization works at the airport, providing it with completely renovated spaces and large operational areas, new quality parameters in the management of all activities, from environmental and safety adaptations to expansions and restructuring of physical spaces.
