History
The airport dates back to the early 1930s when it was used as a flight school and as a hub for charter cargo planes. The modern version of the airport was built in the 1950s, causing a shutdown of operations for two years while the renovations took place. The airport went through several changes in ownership in the following decades. It also went though further renovations in 2000 and 2005. -
