In 2010, the government of the state of Goiás, in order to encourage tourism and aviation, reduced the tax on petrol from 15% to 3%.
[5] After such a reduction, there was some interest from airlines to build a hub at Santa Genoveva Airport,[6] but operational limitations prevented the immediate implementation of such a plan.
On May 9, 2016, a new passenger terminal located on the opposite side of the old and across the runway was opened.
[7] This new terminal has 32 check-in counters and 8 jetways, apart from the usual amenities such as stores and restaurants.
[9] Following is the number of passenger, aircraft and cargo movements at the airport, according to Infraero (2007-2021) and CCR (2022-2024) reports:[10][11][1] Note: a: 2022 series provided by CCR is incomplete, lacking data for the months of January, February and part of March.
