History

The airfield was inaugurated on 6 February 1938[1][2] and is dedicated to general aviation. It began to be built in 1936 on the initiative of Octavio Moura Andrade, who intended to bring help to build a hotel, and subsequently tourists to what would later become the Grande Hotel in the city of Águas de São Pedro.[1]

On 28 July 1940, the first great flight to São Pedro, organized by Octavio Moura Andrade to pay homage to his brother Antonio Joaquim de Moura Andrade, had occurred.[5] Seventy-eight aircraft from flying clubs of the state of São Paulo, and Brazilian Army aircraft from the Campo de Marte Airport and Santos Naval Air Base attended the celebration.[6][7][8][9]

The second great flight to São Pedro have been held in the airfield from 19 to 21 April 1947, with the intention of gathering aviators from Brazil to create the União Brasileira de Aviadores Civis (Brazilian Union of Civil Aviators).[10][11] To promote the convention, several "advertisement squadrons" flew to various cities in the country.[12] In 1951, the Federal Law no. 1,372[13] and the São Paulo State Law no. 1,137[14] declared the Brazilian Union of Civil Aviators to be of public utility.

The Revoada Pan-Americana (Pan-American Flight) have been held in the airfield from 17 to 20 August 1950, with approximately 350 aircraft attending to the event, coming from Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Brazilian Army and flying clubs. Several aeronautical military exercises such as simulation of bombings and parachuting were performed.[15]

The so-called Águas de São Pedro Airfield had through the Decree no. 002/Department of Civil Aviation/6 January 1971 its opening to the public air traffic homologated, and the authoritative order was updated by the Decree of the Department of Civil Aviation no. 097/Operations Subdepartment, of 5 March 1996.[16]

The private airport was expropriated by the state government in 1949.[17] The municipality of São Pedro received from the state government the airport as a donation in 1996.[18][19][20] The airport has undergone renovation in 2009, after being interdicted for six years.[21][4]

On 1 December 2012, the airport was named after its founder.[22]
