History

This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014)

The airport was built in 1948, and was officially inaugurated with an LADE Vickers Viking flight on October 11, 1948 (linking La Rioja with Buenos Aires vía Río Cuarto, San Luis, Santa Rosa, and Córdoba). The first terminal was constructed in 1951. In 1952, Aerolíneas Argentinas started flying to La Rioja.

In 1969, the old north-south grass runway was replaced by the current asphalt Runway 03/21. In 1978, a new 940 m² (10,100 sq ft) passenger terminal and 70 car parking lot were added. In 1990, the terminal was air conditioned.

The La Rioja VOR and non-directional beacon (Idents: LAR) are located on the field.[7][8]

Since March 16, 1999, it has been operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000.
