Marechal Rondon International Airport was inaugurated in 1956 but operated precariously until the first passenger terminal building was completed in 1964.
Infraero became the operator of the airport in 1974, and in 1996 it was upgraded to international status.
The first phase of the construction of the new passenger terminal was completed on 30 June 2006. The second phase would involve the demolition of the old terminal building and the construction of the enlargement of the new passenger terminal on its place.

On 31 August 2009, Infraero unveiled a BRL30.9 million (US$16.3 million; EUR11.4 million) investment plan[5] to up-grade Marechal Rondon International Airport focusing on the preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup which was held in Brazil, Cuiabá being one of the venue cities. The investment was distributed in the renovation of the passenger terminal, parking and access to the airport.
Responding to critiques to the situation of its airports, on May 18, 2011, Infraero released a list evaluating some of its most important airports according to their saturation levels. According to the list, Cuiabá was considered to be critically saturated, operating above 85% of its capacity.[6]
On March 15, 2019, Aeroeste won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[7]
