It was commissioned on October 5, 2001. It has an area of 23,739,952.00 m2 which is enough to future expansions. The terminal has 12,300 m2 and a capacity for 2 100,000 passengers/year.
Previously operated by Infraero, on April 7, 2021 CCR won a 30-year concession to operate the airport. On April 26, 2025 CCR was rebranded as Motiva.
On November 18, 2025 the entire airports portfolio of Motiva was sold to the Mexican airport operator ASUR. Motiva will cease to operate airports. The transaction was completed on August 31, 2026.
