History

In October 1932, a group of aeronautical enthusiasts decided to build a flying club in Santiago de Compostela. On 28 December, the first board of directors was appointed, which, two years later, selected the land for the installation of an aerodrome in an area known as Crucero Bonito, in the town of Lavacolla.

The first works, in early 1935, involved levelling and compacting three landing areas, forming a runway triangle measuring 1100 by 200 metres, 950 by 150 metres and 600 by 125 metres.

Despite the military nature acquired by the Lavacolla aerodrome at the beginning of the civil war, in February 1937 an Airport Board was created to promote a connection by air to the city. Scheduled commercial services commenced on 27 September 1937 with the Santiago-Salamanca-Valladolid-Zaragoza route.

It was opened to domestic and international civil traffic and technical layovers for commercial traffic on 30 June 1947. A simple wooden hut served as protection for travellers against inclement weather.

In the summer of 1948, works began to asphalt the north-south runway. The tread runway and parking were built between 1953 and 1954, when a communications centre was erected and an omnidirectional radio beacon was installed to improve navigational aids.

In 1958, the airport runway lights were put into service. A portable ILS locator was installed at departure point 35 and a radio beacon placed at number 17. The power plant was built in the spring of the same year. In 1961, VOR equipment was installed.

During the three-year period between 1964-1967, runway 36/18 was expanded, an ILS was installed, the firefighting complex was built, the taxiway and apron were improved and enlarged and a new control tower and a new passenger terminal were constructed.

In 1981, a cargo terminal was built and enlarged two years later. In 1982, the customs service was established for passengers and luggage, which was later expanded to include export and import merchandise.

The passenger terminal, built in 1969, was enlarged on several occasions. In 1993, it was equipped with a Cat II/III ILS, which makes it possible for aircraft to operate in conditions of reduced visibility and significantly reduces the number of flight diversions and cancellations due to adverse weather conditions (fog and low clouds).

The airport has one runway and an aircraft apron with a specific area for general aviation.
