history
The airport runway was built before 1960 and thus played an important role in supplying the region's population after the great earthquake of May 22, 1960. On May 11, 1963, the airport was officially opened. Especially after the end of Pinochet's dictatorship , the Chilean government invested a lot of money in the airport. In recent years, passenger numbers rose at the airport also strong, since the airport has the third most passengers in Chile, after Santiago de Chile Airport and Antofagasta Airport . That is why there are plans to expand the airport further, including building another runway by 2021.
