It is operated by Infraero.
Formerly owned and managed by the steel manufacturer Usiminas, in 2012 the administration began to be conducted in partnership with Socicam.[5] However, in March 2016 the concessionary became temporarily the sole administrator. On August 7, 2020, the State of Minas Gerais signed a contract of operation with Infraero.[6][7]
As result of structural problems on the runway, on February 20, 2019, ANAC suspended all operations at the airport, so that the concessionary could solve the problems.[8] The airport was reopened on December 1, 2021.[9]
