History

The first charter flights landed on a runway without today's comforts — a postcard from another era in the airport's history.

The airport is named after Carlos Campos, a local aviator who died in 1995 during a rescue on Mount Tronador. The current terminal building, with its stone-and-wood architecture reflecting the region's alpine landscape, was added in 1991.
