It also serves as an alternate airport for the cities of Armenia, Cartago, Manizales, Medellín, Cali, and Bogotá.

The city of Pereira owns and manages the terminal building, while the operations are in charge of Aerocivil, being the only airport in Colombia under these conditions.

The third floor has the general waiting room, toilets, stores, restaurants and cafés, free Internet Wi-Fi, a devices charging station, and a VIP lounge operated by Avianca.

On the fourth level are the airport general offices, a chapel, and two footbridges connecting the terminal with the car parking area, which is in front of the main building.

Currently, the airport is under a full renovation to improve aviation safety, comfort, and security for users.

This is a public-private alliance in which the CSS company will operate the airport for 20 years while still returning some revenue to the city government.
