In 1990 it was renamed in honor of former Portuguese prime minister Francisco de Sá Carneiro, who died in a plane crash on December 4th, 1980, while traveling to the airport. On December 18th, 1998, the airport came under the management of ANA Aeroportos de Portugal and became responsible for future planning and development at OPO. In 2006 a new passenger terminal building debuted, designed by Portuguese firm ICQ.
