During a transitional period, the airport is jointly operated by Infraero and AENA.
The first flight to the site of the airport was operated on May 10, 1935 but the area was officially designated only on July 21, 1953.
In 1980, the administration of the airport was taken over by Infraero and on June 8, 2001 the name was officially changed to include a tribute to the aviator César Bombonato.
In 2005, the airport terminal was extensively renewed and enlarged. In 2007, the runway was extended.
Previously operated by Infraero, on August 18, 2022 the consortium AENA won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[4]
