History

The airport was commissioned on November 12, 1977.

Since January 29, 2013, the airport has operated with a 1,780m × 45m runway. The expansion from its previous 1,615m × 30m size to the current dimensions was necessary due to the steady increase in the airport's traffic.

Ongoing projects at the airport are the installation of the precision approach path indicator as well as a new improved fire station, which will raise the safety category to CAT 5.

A new passenger terminal with 6.018,38 m² opened in 2020.^[6]

As of the beginning of 2023, the official name of the airport was changed from Coronel Adalberto Mendes da Silva Airport to Regional West Airport.^[7]
