History
The first studies were completed to construct a runway for the remote island of Pico during the post-War era when, instead, a final decision in 1946 saw the construction of an aerodrome on the island of Faial. It was only on 5 May 1976, when the construction of a runway and terminal building began on the island of Pico, under the initiative of the Portuguese army, but completed under the administration of the Regional Government of the Azores.
The runway was inaugurated on 25 April 1982: at the time the runway was only 1,200 metres (3,900ft) long, with limited capabilities for large aircraft. This infrastructure was constructed in a morphological area that only permitted its construction oriented east to west, making it susceptible to dominant southerly winds, raising questions as to its original construction.
General Pico Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de General Pico) (IATA: GPO, ICAO: SAZG) is an airport serving General Pico, a town in the La Pampa Province of Argentina. The airport is 2 kilometres (1 mi) south of General Pico.
Runway length includes a 305 metres (1,001 ft) displaced threshold on Runway 34.
The General Pico VOR-DME and non-directional beacon (Idents: GPI) are located on the field.
