History
The airport was established in the 1960s as an airfield for general aviation and a flying club. In the 1980s the runway was paved and an apron and a terminal with 941 m² were constructed, enabling Macaé Airport to fully support the operations related to the Campos basin. In fact, most of its movement (98%) is related to helicopter flights to/from offshore oil platforms of the Campos basin. Its apron has 6 positions for fixed-wing aircraft and 38 positions for rotorcrafts.
Previously operated by Infraero, on March 15, 2019 Flughafen Zürich AG won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[4]
On June 1, 2022 the name of the airport was officially changed from Benedito Lacerda to Joaquim de Azevedo Mancebo (1924–1973), celebrating the founder of the local air club.[5]
