The history of Bacacheri airport begins in 1930 as an air field for Military Aviation. In 1942 the Ministry of Air Force officially upgraded the facility to the status of an Air Force Base.
On March 31, 1980 Bacacheri Air Force Base was de-commissioned and its administration handled over to Infraero. Even though there is still a strong military presence in the area, Bacacheri Airport today is mainly dedicated to general aviation, and is the site of a great number of aircraft maintenance facilities.
The Brazilian Integrated Air Traffic Control and Air Defense Center section 2 (Cindacta II) is located in the vicinity of the airport.[4]
Currently no scheduled flights operate at this airport.
The airport is located 7 km (4 mi) from downtown Curitiba.
